Video Template

Article or Press Release-To-Video Service:
Starts at $52– Turn your text, blog posts, articles, and press releases into stylish videos.  POWER ” How To” TIP => Grab the text from your PowerPoint presentation and use it in one of these! Your final video will consist of text, images, and background music. There are two levels of options to choose from: the Basic Level and the Emphasis Level.

See an example of each level, so you know which one will best fit your needs.

Here’s how it works:

• Send me your text, blog post, article, or press release. (Up to 700 words max to keep the video less than 4 minutes).
• Select a nice background from our selection of background images (or just tell me to pick for you)
• Select an appropriate background soundtrack from our selection (or just tell me to pick one for you)
• Send me any additional images you want on the first slide and the last slide, including your logo. There should definitely be an image on the first slide and the last slide for branding.
• Tell me if you want a Call To Action at the end and what you want to say, including contact info.
• And choice of widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3) layout
• For the Emphasis Level, there is a focus on emphasizing certain words and phrases, really driving your message in an elegant and stylish way. You will also have other options to select on the order form, such as: a corner watermark or your name and url that stays at the bottom throughout, a choice of font for Titles and other parts on the slides, additional slide transitions throughout, the inclusion of your additional images sprinkled throughout, and text animations.

I take your exact article and divide it into sections of up to approx. 70 words each (so make sure that what you send is exactly what you want in the video). Each section will go on a slide with an appropriate Title. Many times the background is all you need for extra imagery, depending on what you select.

The best articles are the ones between 400 and 650 words. The larger articles make for fairly long videos, and might not get watched all the way through. A good target length is 3 minutes or less. Plus, most music I have doesn’t go longer than 3 minutes. So, to keep the words easily readable and the music to end when the video ends, less words are better.

Pricing is:

• Basic Level: $52 for up to 500 words – comes with one background image of your choosing.
• Basic Level: $62 for 501-700 words - comes with one background image of your choosing.
  
• Emphasis Level: $167 for up to 500 words – comes with up to 4 background images of your choosing – I will randomize.
• Emphasis Level: $187 for 501-700 words - comes with up to 4 background images of your choosing – I will randomize.
• As an extra option, your video can include voiceover at an additional cost. See the section below on Voiceover options and pricing.

Please be sure to check all spelling and grammar before sending. I am copying and pasting. There is an extra charge to have me re-do your video due to an error in the text you send to me.

Voiceover for the Article-To-Video service pricing is:
Up to 500 words: $95 – using your exact text from the article
501 – 700 words: $165 – using your exact text from the article
