Turn a Written Post Into a Short Video

If you write posts, articles, or a newsletter, a muse can turn each new piece into a short vertical video and post it to your social accounts after you approve it, so the work you already did reaches people who would rather watch than read.

What it does

Writing the piece is the hard part, and for most writers it is also the end of the effort. The same ideas could reach a second audience as a short video, but filming and editing one for every post is a second job nobody has time for. A muse can take that step over. You hand it the finished piece and it pulls out the points that work spoken aloud, shapes them into a short script, and builds the video. Then it stops and waits. You watch the video, and only after you approve it does the muse post it to the accounts you named, such as your Facebook, Threads, and Instagram. Set up as a standing instruction, every new piece gets the same treatment: write once, approve once, and the video version follows. The muse prepares, you decide what goes out under your name.

How to use it

1. Finish and publish your written piece the way you normally would.
2. Give the muse the piece and ask for a short video version: the main point first, then the two or three supporting points, in plain spoken language.
3. Watch the draft video all the way through. Check the words on screen, the order of the points, and anything that reads fine on paper but sounds odd out loud.
4. Approve it, or send it back with specific notes. Vague notes get vague fixes.
5. Once the style feels right, leave it as a standing instruction for each new piece, still with your approval before anything posts.

What you need

• A muse account, the social accounts you want the videos posted to, connected with posting permission, and a steady source of written pieces
• If you only post now and then, run it one piece at a time instead of as a standing instruction

What to watch for

• Never approve a video you have not watched. Captions and on-screen text are where small errors hide, and a wrong word on screen is what viewers remember.
• Expect the early videos to be plain rather than polished. They are a second doorway into your writing, not a replacement for it.
• A piece that depends on careful detail may not survive being squeezed into a minute. Skip those.
