What is Docs to Video?

Docs to Video is a feature in AI Studios that turns your documents, such as PowerPoints, PDFs, and Word files, into professional videos in just a few minutes. The AI reads your file, writes a script, adds visuals, and includes an AI avatar voiceover.

You can use it to create training materials, sales pitches, educational content, and company updates with ease.


How to Turn a Document into a Video

1. Navigate to Docs to Video

There are two ways to access the Topic to Video tool in the AI Studios dashboard:

Option 1: Access Topic to Video directly:

Open the “Marketing” tab in the AI Studios dashboard. Scroll to the right until you see the Docs to Video feature, then click to open it.

Option 2: Access Docs to Video through the main dashboard input bar:

  1. Drag or upload your file into the text bar in the AI Studios dashboard.

  2. Make sure the selected tool is Docs to Video.

  3. Choose the general purpose of your content (Business or Education).

  4. Click the arrow button to move to the next step.


Step 2: Upload Your Document

Choose the document you want to turn into a video. Supported file types include .ppt, .pptx, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xlsx, and .txt. Max 20MB file.


Step 3: Choose Video Language and Duration

Select your preferred video language from the Language drop-down menu. AI Studios supports over 150 languages and accents

Then, choose the desired video length using the Duration drop-down menu


Step 4: Customize the Script Prompt

You can adjust the video duration and guide the AI with extra prompts to improve the script.

Use the following options to shape your video:

  • Objective – Define the main purpose of the video (for example, to explain a concept)

  • Audience – Choose who the video is for (such as beginners or professionals)

  • Tone – Select the style or mood (friendly, formal, casual, etc.)

  • Speed – Set the narration pace (for example, 1.0 for normal speed)


Step 5: Choose Your Visual Style

Decide where your visuals will come from:

  • File Background – Uses your document layout as the video background

  • Search – Browse and select media from the web

  • Free Stock – Access media from Pixabay

  • Premium Stock – Use licensed content from Shutterstock

  • Generative – Create unique AI-generated visuals tailored to your video

  • Generative+ – For advanced, high-resolution visuals. Enable High-Quality AI Media to activate this option (uses generative credits)


Step 6: Select a Template and AI Avatar

Choose the video template and the AI avatar you want to use. Use the Template drop-down to filter by format:

  • YouTube and TikTok

  • Business

  • Education

Then, select the avatar who will present your video. You can use a stock avatar or one of your own.

Both the template and avatar can be changed later if needed.


Step 7: Generate the Video

Click Next to begin. The script, visuals, and voiceover will be created automatically.

If you want to switch out the document being used to generate this video, click on Previous.


Step 8: Review and Edit

After clicking Next, AI Studios will generate a preview of your video draft. You’ll see the selected images, script, and narration. At this stage, the avatar will not yet appear animated.

You can do the following to edit the generated video in the preview scene:

  • Edit the script by clicking on the text

  • Change visuals by clicking on a scene


If you would like to make make detailed changes to the video, click on the Editor button and it will guide you to AI Studios full AI Video editor.

And if you are unhappy with the overall video and would like to redo the entire draft, click on Change Options.


Step 9: Generate & Share

Once you're happy with the draft, click Export. The final version will include the AI avatar voiceover and animations. You can return to the editor to make changes even after exporting.
