Convert an article into a video
Drop an article URL and the API produces a video version — voice-over plus text overlays for the headlines and quotes. Useful for news desks expanding to video, and for content aggregators offering a video format alongside written articles.
How it works
- Step 1Submit your article
Send the article to the AutoContent API as a URL, file upload, or pasted text. The API accepts most public sources directly and supports authenticated uploads for private content.
- Step 2Pick your tone and voices
Choose from 50+ AI voices and a handful of presets that shape pacing, formality, and length. Defaults work for most use cases — tweak when the video is heading somewhere brand-sensitive.
- Step 3Receive your video
Generation typically completes in under five minutes. The API returns the finished video plus a transcript, share URL, and metadata you can plug into your existing distribution stack.
Frequently asked questions
How does it handle quotes from interviewees?
Quotes appear as on-screen text with attribution, and the voice-over reads "according to [name]" rather than impersonating speakers.
Is it fast enough for breaking news?
Typical end-to-end time is under five minutes for a 1500-word article. Fine for daily news; tight for live-breaking events.
Can I keep the article's original images?
Yes — provide image URLs in the API call and the video uses them as broll between text overlays.
