Brochure to video

The document designed to be handed over, sent as a link instead.

Upload the brochure as a PDF. Its readable text is drafted into a spoken script you edit, then one of 143 presenters delivers a finished video that introduces the brochure rather than reciting it.

The detail, in plain English

Brochures are mostly design. Much of the meaning sits in photography, pull quotes and typography, none of which becomes speech, so expect to write more than you trim.

Treat the video as the covering note: what this is, who it is for, the three things inside, and why to open it.

What to do, step by step

  1. 1Upload the PDF versionText-based PDFs read well. If the brochure was exported as flat artwork, paste the copy instead.
  2. 2Write the covering noteFour short paragraphs: what it is, who it suits, what is inside, what to do next.
  3. 3Produce and attachChoose a presenter, produce the video, and send it with the brochure as the download.

A worked example

Worked example (illustration). A 16-page services brochure becomes a 65-second introduction covering the three service lines, the typical engagement length, and an invitation to download the brochure for detail.

What to watch out for

  • Artwork-only PDFs contain no readable text; paste the copy instead of uploading.
  • Pull quotes attributed to clients need permission before being spoken in a video.
  • Do not try to cover sixteen pages — the video's job is to get the brochure opened.

How AutoPersonify does it

Questions people ask

How long does it take?

Twenty minutes, because brochures need writing rather than editing. The reading step is instant; the covering note is the work.

Can I change the wording?

Yes, and expect to. Brochure copy is written around images, so it rarely stands up on its own when spoken.

What does it cost?

Free to make the first one. Marketing teams producing a video for each collateral piece typically use Starter £49 or Growth £149 a month.
