- Whether you're a creator, marketer,
or business owner,
converting your articles,
and blog posts into videos,
is a trick that you definitely should master,
as it saves you a ton of time,
and it ensures that you never run out of video ideas.
So in this video, I'm gonna show you
the step-by-step process
to take your blog posts and articles,
and turn them into super engaging videos.
It only takes minutes,
and you can do it,
even if you have no video editing experience,
all with the free online video editor called InVideo.
Sounds super useful, right?
Let's get started!
First things first,
You want to sign up for a free InVideo account
if you haven't already done so.
I'll drop a link in the description below.
Once you're signed in,
you can go to the Brand Presets tab,
and there you can upload your logo,
and select your brand colors.
And then, once you plug those in,
it'll automatically load them into every project you create.
And if you do ever want to change the colors
for a different brand,
or if you want to change the logo,
don't worry too much about it,
you can still edit that
from within the InVideo editor as well.
At this point, you can also add your team members
if there's anybody that you want to collaborate with
on the videos.
All right, now that you're all set with that,
you want to come back to the homepage,
and you're gonna select the Text to Video option.
This will load up the templates
that are designed more specifically
for turning blogs and articles into videos.
And then you can simply select the aspect ratio
that you want to use for your videos.
So 16:9, or Wide,
is great if you're creating YouTube videos,
or primarily for desktop audiences.
Square is great if you're creating videos
for social media feeds.
And 9:16 is great for Instagram Stories,
Instagram Reels, TikTok,
and primarily mobile audiences.
And if you are looking to create the video
for multiple platforms,
I'll show you a super easy way how you can duplicate,
and resize your videos.
We'll get to that later.
All right, so now you'll see all of these templates.
You can go ahead and click on one that you like,
and preview it.
And then, if you want to use that one,
click Use this template,
and you'll be able to start building your video.
This will bring you to the first step,
copying and finalizing your text.
You can either copy and paste your headline and text
if you already have your script ready.
Or you can paste the URL of your article,
or blog post,
and InVideo will automatically script it for you.
Just keep in mind,
we can pull text from most websites,
but there are some websites that have it disabled.
So if it's not working for you,
you can just enter the text manually.
When you're pasting your script,
make sure you enter each new sentence on a new line
so that InVideo can break it down into scenes for you.
This will make it super easy for you
to build out your video scene-by-scene.
Once you're done with that,
you can move onto the second step, storyboarding.
This is where you'll see that InVideo
has automatically converted every sentence
of your script into a scene.
You can easily add,
or duplicate scenes.

You can reorder them if you feel like the flow of the script
needs to change.
Or you can even delete them.
You can also change the scene to a different type
using the drop down menu.
For example, you can choose quotes or questions,
and you will see that it automatically
changes your scene type to best represent that.
You'll also notice that
if you put too much text for any scene,
InVideo will give you a little warning
that it might not look good with that much text.
So you can easily go and make it shorter,
or just split the sentences into smaller ones
by using the Split button.
Now it's time for you to bring your storyboard to life
by adding your own media.
You can simply drag and drop media
from our built-in media library
of over 8 million royalty-free images and video clips,
or you can upload your own if you have it.
You can use the Play button to do a quick preview
of each scene,
and then make any changes that you want.
All right, so now you have a tentative storyboard
of how your video is gonna look
with your own media and text.
So now you can use the Edit option to fine tune your scenes,
and add your final touches.
This will bring you to our timeline
where you can make micro adjustments
to the position of your scenes elements,
as well as their duration.
Once done, you can hit Save,
and that'll take you back to the storyboard
so you can look at all your scenes one by one.
And then if you want to further view your scenes
on a more traditional timeline,
you can simply hop over to the Advanced Editor,
and from there, you can get even more control
over the elements of your video.
If you want to know more
about what the timeline can do for you,
check out this video,
where I go through all of the capabilities
you have access to with InVideo's timeline.
This brings us to the last step,
which is to add an appropriate music track to your video.
Again, you can select one from our built-in library
of thousands of royalty-free music tracks,
as well as sound effects.
Or you can upload your own music.
Awesome!
Now that your video is just about ready to go,
you can use the Preview button,
and play all of your scenes to make sure they look good.
And if everything is good to go,
you can hit Export,
and your video should be ready to download within minutes.
You can also easily share this video
across all your social media channels,
or generate a preview link that you can share
with your friends,
and your coworkers,
and anyone else who's working on the video with you.
Also, I said that you can easily duplicate,
and resize your videos for multiple social media platforms,
so I'll show you how to do that now.
Select the size of the second version,
and InVideo will automatically duplicate,
and create a new project for you in your requested size.
And then you can go ahead and edit it,
following the same steps we covered before.
And you can do that with all three different sizes.
And, if at any point during your edit,
you feel like you need help,
you can always come to our chat support window,
and reach out to an InVideo expert
that's available at 24/7,
and will get you back up and running in no time.
