Announcement
[Product Update] From automatic summary to short form video editing, all in one place, just by plugging in the news article URL!

VideoStew now transforms your lengthy articles into YouTube videos in no time. Ready to dive into the nuts and bolts of how it works?

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bxeMgkWtKkQ" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

Starting with a URL that has a body text

Open a new project, click the [Start with URL] button in Wizard mode, and enter the URL of a news article or blog. Any address will do if it's in article format. If a website isn't recognized properly, please let us know via [Contact]! (We'll get it all figured out in a jiffy...)

Once you move on to the next step, you'll see the original text inputted as it is.

Auto summarizing long texts through text refinement

Click on the [Refine Text] button in the top right corner and you'll be able to set the time and creativity level. The summary can be anywhere between 30 seconds and 1 minute. As the creativity %# increases, the AI gets more audacious in deviating from the original text.

Project detailed settings

In the last step, you can change the settings, such as AI voice, font, etc., yourself. You can either set it up the way you like or use a pre-prepared template, and then just hit the next button.

Automatic content analysis and video matching

The final step involves the AI analyzing the content for each scene (slide) and matching appropriate videos. If you're not happy with the matched video, you can change it anytime and freely edit each slide.

If you want to know more about automatic video matching, we recommend reading the [Auto Script Generation & Video Matching Function] post.

Automatic project title and description generation

If you start with a URL and didn't set the title of the project separately, click on the [untitled] button in the top left corner and you can directly use the title and description suggested by AI.

The description can be used as-is when uploading to YouTube, which is handy, right? It also pulls three important keywords from the content and turns them into hashtags. (Taking SEO into consideration!)

Please make good use of our new features and don't hesitate to ask any questions via the VideoStew [Contact] chatline. We aim to answer as swiftly as possible.

That wraps up our brief on the new update about summarizing and turning long texts into videos 🙂
