How to turn a news article into a video

To turn a news article into a video, write the lede and three to five key facts in your own words, paste them into Faceless, keep it near 150 words for a 60 second short, pick a calm news-style voice and a visual style, and generate. Faceless narrates it, adds captions and a picture per scene, and renders it vertical.

Why convert news article to ai video?

News shorts live or die on speed and accuracy: the first video out on a story gets the views, and one wrong name loses the audience's trust. Faceless takes the writing you paste, so the facts are yours to check, and turns it into a narrated, captioned vertical video in more than 90 languages. That makes it practical to run a news channel in your own language from wire stories in English. The Storyboard style costs 20 credits a video.

How the conversion works

Pull out the lede and the key facts

Read the article and note the lede, three to five facts and one quote or source. Write them in your own words: the facts are free to report, the outlet's wording is not.

Order it as hook, facts, source

Open with the news itself in one sentence, then the facts, then where it came from. About 150 words makes a 60 second video and 225 makes 90.

Pick a voice, a language and a visual style

A calm, even voice reads as news. Pick the language your audience watches in; Faceless narrates in more than 90 languages, so an English wire story can become a video in Spanish or Hindi.

Generate and check every name and number

Faceless narrates the script, syncs captions and illustrates each scene. Read the captions once before posting: names, figures and dates are where news videos go wrong.

Post while the story is fresh

Post to your connected YouTube, TikTok or Instagram account from Faceless, or download the MP4. News interest fades within hours, so publish as soon as it checks out.

Do not. The facts in a news story are free to report, but the article's wording belongs to the outlet. Rewrite the lede and key facts in your own words and name the source on screen or in the caption.

No. The pictures in each scene are generated to illustrate what is being said, not photographs of the event. They work for explaining a story; if your audience expects real footage of an event, say on screen that the visuals are illustrations.

Faceless narrates the text you give it, so accuracy starts in your script. Take the facts from the original report, keep numbers and names exactly as reported, and read the captions once before you post.
