Step 1
Adapt the Script
Paste your blog post into Claude and ask it to rewrite it as a spoken video script, conversational, present tense, with natural pause points marked. Target 150 words per minute.
Step 2
Generate the Voiceover
Paste the script into ElevenLabs and choose a voice that matches your brand. Generate the full audio track and export as MP3.
Step 3
Create Visuals with AI
Use Runway ML's image-to-video or Canva AI's video tool to generate short visual clips (5–10 seconds each) to accompany each section of the script.
Step 4
Edit and Add Captions
Import your audio and generated clips into Descript. Use its auto-caption feature to add subtitles. Trim for pacing and export in your target format.
Step 5
Optimize for Platform
Use ChatGPT to write the video title, description, and 5 SEO tags for YouTube. Ask it to also generate a thumbnail concept you can build in Canva.
Make It Yours
The speed is real. Here's what keeps the output from reading like everyone else's.
- •Adapt the script in your own speaking rhythm, not a straight read of the blog post: written and spoken pacing are different, and a direct port reads as robotic.
- •Use a cloned or closely-matched voice sample instead of a stock AI voice if this content will run under your name or brand.
- •Do a manual caption and timing pass before publishing: auto-generated captions routinely mis-time on emphasis words.
Time Required
1–2 hrs per video
Expected Result
A polished 3–8 minute YouTube video (or series of Shorts) derived from an existing blog post, complete with AI voiceover and visuals.
