Blog to Video With AI: Turn Any Article Into a Short Video Ad

You can turn a blog post into a short video ad by pasting one link. The tool that does it is Phantom, inside the AI Media Machine. It reads the article, pulls out the main points, and builds a video with a voiceover, animated text, sound effects, and moving visuals.

How to turn a blog post into a video

  1. Copy the link to a blog post. For this test I used an article from Shopify's blog.
  2. Open Phantom in the AI Media Machine and paste the link into the link option.
  3. Click Summon the Phantom.

When it's done, you have a video ready to download.

What the Shopify article turned into

Phantom wrote this voiceover from the article:

Want to start an online store but don't want to hold any inventory? With dropshipping, you sell the products and your supplier ships them directly to your customers. First, choose a profitable niche. Pick products you love or use keyword research to find high customer demand. Next, research your competitors, check their social media, and find gaps your store can fill. Since you don't manage shipping, you can focus entirely on marketing and building your brand. Learn how to launch your business today. Read the full guide at the address on screen.

It opens with a question, covers the main steps from the article, and ends by sending viewers to the full guide.

I didn't have to build any of the video by hand. There's a voiceover reading that script, and the bullet points animate onto the screen as the steps come up. Each animation has a small sound effect, and the transitions have one too. The two women in the scene are moving as well.

Click download, and your blog post is now an actual video.

Why it's worth doing

If you already have blog posts, each one can become a video without writing a script, hiring a voice actor, or building motion graphics in an editor. You paste the link and download the result.
