Hello Everyone,

Do you know any software that can be used to make videos from articles? I want to make tons of videos for the purpose of video marketing. Hiring a designer to make tons of videos will be a very costly decision so I am looking for something easy and cost effective solution. Please share with me if you know any such software that can be easily used and easily available.

Thank You

    There are such things out there, at least if you use a very specific definition for the word 'video'. I won't name any, because the digital pollution they put out is already sludging up the pipeline and I won't encourage more...

      Content is KING but Context is Queen. The search engines and real people love good quality, engaging content that informs... not junk produced for backlinks or keywords. What you're talking about sounds more like a short term tactic, not a real business when you turn articles into videos. Try being more strategic in your efforts and your payoff will be much greater and longer lasting.

      Cheers,

    Powerpoint works well enough, although these slideshow type things cannot really be classified as videos.

    you could just use Animoto Break the article down into 3 sections or however you prefer. Add articles as jpeg to timeline and save video. Next play video and record yourself reading the article. Now go back and add audio to video and adjust audio forward or backwards so it's sync. That's the cheapest way.

      You really need more than just text and reading an article for a video. I find that kind is really boring and avoid them. It's best to not bore your intended target audience.

      You could (might) be better off to use these words (or refine them for whatever kind of computer you have): "free teleprompter for windows" so people can see you giving the information and don't need to know you are reading it.

        Most of the people using this trick aren't looking for human viewers - they're looking for backlinks. And they don't care how much boring, worthless garbage they have to dump to get them.

    I wouldn't even do it. Plus it's against Youtube's terms of service. You're better off showing your face in front of the camera and connecting with your viewers that way. I guarantee you the quality from yourself on camera is MUCH better than an autobot in a "video-article".

    Why not just hire someone to READ articles and pair the voiceover with slide shows based on the article?

    Fiverr is your friend, bro.
