Turn a Presentation into a Narrated Video (AI Voiceover)
A deck is built for a room. A video is built for an inbox — for the people who couldn't make the meeting, the customers in another timezone, or the onboarding you'd rather not deliver live for the fortieth time. Video generation exists to close that gap without you recording, re-recording, and editing audio for an afternoon.
How it works
Three steps, in order, each one reviewable before you commit to the next:
- Script. It reads your slides and writes a spoken script for each one — not the bullets read aloud, but the sentences you'd actually say around them.
- Audio. You pick and fine-tune the voiceover, and it generates the narration track for every slide.
- Render. It renders the slides to video and stitches the audio in, giving you a single file to share.
The order matters because the script is where the quality is decided. A generated script is a solid first draft that doesn't know your emphasis, your product names, or the joke you always make on slide four — so read it before you generate audio. Editing text is free; regenerating audio you didn't want isn't.
What it costs
Creating, editing, and presenting are always free and unlimited. Credits apply only to paid outputs, and an AI video is three of them: one credit for the script, one for the audio, one for the render — three credits for a finished video. You can preview and edit the script before any credits are spent, so an exploratory pass costs nothing.
Credits come from one-time bundles ($5 for 1, $19 for 10, $49 for 40) or a monthly plan from $9, and they stack every cycle and never expire. The $499 lifetime plan skips the credit system entirely — video included, forever. Video generation is a paid feature, so it isn't part of the free plan; see the pricing page for the per-plan detail.
When a video beats a live presentation
- Async updates. A five-minute narrated update watched at 1.5× beats a meeting nobody scheduled.
- Onboarding and training. The same material, delivered identically, every time — and updatable when the product changes.
- Sales follow-ups. Sending a narrated walkthrough after a call keeps your framing attached to the deck instead of leaving it to be skimmed in silence.
- Timezones. The talk happens whether or not everyone could be awake for it.
And when it doesn't: anything that needs questions answered in the moment, anything negotiable, and anything where reading the room changes what you say. A video can't notice that slide 7 lost everyone.
Getting a good result
- Write slides with one idea each. Narration exposes crowded slides — the voiceover ends up describing a wall of text.
- Edit the script for how you speak. Contractions, shorter sentences, and your actual product names. Read it aloud once; you'll catch the clunky lines immediately.
- Say the number. If a slide exists for one statistic, make sure the narration lands on it rather than around it.
- Keep it under about six minutes. Past that, split it — attention on an async video drops off much faster than in a room.
Try it
Build or open a deck, edit it until the story holds, then generate the video from it. If you're starting from scratch, describe the deck in a sentence and let the AI draft it first — see the free AI presentation maker guide — or open a template in the editor with no account.
Frequently asked questions
How many credits does an AI video cost?
Three. An AI video runs as three steps — script, audio, and render — and each step costs one credit. You can preview and edit the script before any credits are spent, so exploring costs nothing.
Can I edit the narration script before it's generated?
Yes, and you should. The script step produces a first draft for every slide that you can rewrite before any audio is generated — it's the cheapest place to fix emphasis, product names and phrasing.
Is video generation available on the free plan?
No. Creating, editing and presenting are free and unlimited, but AI video is a paid output. Credits come from one-time bundles or a monthly plan, and the lifetime plan includes video with no credits to count.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits stack every billing cycle and never expire, whether they came from a one-time bundle or a subscription.
