Turn a whitepaper into a summary video
Whitepapers and ebooks take weeks to produce and minutes to skip. A short summary video gives decision-makers the argument and a reason to read the full paper. Storyvalo drafts it from the uploaded document, attributes data to the sources the paper cites, and leaves you in control of every claim.
Opens the studio with an editable whitepaper to video brief. Sign in or create a free account first; nothing is generated or charged until you continue.
A good fit when
- The paper has a clear argument, not just a collection of facts.
- You want more people to download or read it.
- Marketing and the paper’s author can review the script.
The closest real example
This export was made from a written business document and keeps to what the source supports, the same care a whitepaper summary needs.
Fictional demonstration: the brand, source and scenario were invented for this example. It is not a customer testimonial or evidence of business results. Watch it with its source and script.
Whitepaper to video, step by step
Upload the paper
Add the whitepaper or ebook as a PDF. Upload key charts as images if you want to show them exactly.
Set the audience
The starter writes for busy decision-makers. Change the role and industry in the brief to match your readers.
Check data and citations
Every figure should match the paper and keep its original source. Remove anything the paper presents as uncertain.
Render and promote
Render a landscape video for the download page and a portrait copy for social promotion.
Promote, do not replace
The video should make people want the full paper. End with where to get it, and leave methodology and detail in the document.
Charts as originals
An AI illustration of a chart is not your data. Show your own chart image as the visual for scenes that discuss figures.
Pick the chapter that sells the paper
The most persuasive chapter is not always the first. Choose the finding that surprises your audience most and build the video around it, then point to the full paper.
The starter brief
“Use this starter” fills in this brief in the studio. Edit any of it before you generate a storyboard.
Turn the uploaded whitepaper into a short summary video for busy decision-makers. State the problem it examines, its main argument, the two strongest supporting points, and what the reader should do next. Attribute data to the sources the paper cites. Use only facts from my source. Do not invent statistics, prices, quotes, customer names or results.
Review before you publish
Storyvalo drafts the script and assembles the video; you decide what is accurate. Read every scene against its source, check names, numbers and claims, and only use material you have permission to use. Stock footage and AI illustrations are illustrative, and narration is AI-generated.
What it costs
One 60-second, watermarked 720p export per verified account each calendar month. It ends with a short “Made with Storyvalo” card over its last two seconds. Standard voices and still or stock media. No payment card, no automatic subscription. Paid exports stay 1080p without the Storyvalo watermark. A free account includes five minutes of AI script attempts each calendar month, an editable storyboard and an interactive preview, with no card. Rendering a narrated video uses video minutes: export one minute for $2.99 or three minutes for $7.99, plus applicable tax, without a subscription. Monthly plans suit regular production and longer videos. Compare plans and packs.
Questions
Can it handle a long ebook?
Upload the PDF and tell the brief which chapter or argument to cover. Long documents make better series than single videos.
Can I gate the video?
Host the MP4 wherever you like, including behind your own form. Storyvalo viewing links are unlisted and open to anyone with the link.
Will numbers be checked automatically?
No. Source links help you review the script, but you must confirm every figure before publishing.
