Article to Video Converter

Repurpose long-form articles or blog posts into engaging videos in one smooth text-to-video workflow. Just use AI to convert your article into a video script, then add AI voice overs, media, music, and effects by highlighting the text.

How to turn a published article into a polished video in minutes

Step 1

Input your article

Paste your blog post, article, or script into the text editor in a new Descript project. You can edit, trim and cut your text to create your script. Or you can ask AI to generate a specific type of video script by going to Actions > Ask AI, giving it a prompt and parameters, then refining the result with feedback.

Step 2

Create your video in the text editor

Once your text is looking more like a script, you can create scenes to mark transitions by adding a ‘/’. Adding sound effects, GIFs, captions, and other elements to specific moments is as easy as highlighting your text and right clicking to Add layer. You can also paste things in from your clipboard, like images from your article, or use the built-in stock media library and AI image generator. You can add a voice over by either recording yourself reading your script or clicking Add Speaker to assign an AI speaker.

Step 3

Publish, export, or embed your video

When you’re done editing your video, click Publish to export your video file, publish it directly to a supported platform like YouTube, or generate a web link you can use to share your video on social media or embed it anywhere—like in the blog post it was based on.
