Newsletter to video
Same issue, same list, a face at the top of it.
Paste the newsletter text. The main items become a short spoken script you edit, then a presenter you choose delivers it as a finished video you can place at the top of the send as a linked thumbnail.
The detail, in plain English
Newsletters are usually several unrelated items. Spoken, that becomes a bulletin: a short line of what is coming, then each item in one or two sentences.
Email clients do not play video inline reliably, so the practical pattern is a thumbnail image in the email linking to the video hosted elsewhere.
What to do, step by step
- 1Paste the issueCopy the body text of the send, without the header, footer and unsubscribe furniture.
- 2Write it as a bulletinOpen with 'three things this week', then give each item a sentence and a reason to care.
- 3Produce and link itChoose a presenter, produce the video, and put a linked thumbnail at the top of the email.
What this format looks like as a video
| Part | Seconds | Job |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | 0–8 | Name the three things |
| Item one | 8–25 | The one with news value |
| Item two | 25–40 | The useful one |
| Item three | 40–52 | The short one |
| Close | 52–60 | Reply, or read on |
A worked example
Worked example (illustration). A monthly customer newsletter with three items becomes a 58-second bulletin, embedded as a thumbnail at the top of the send and reused the same week as a social post.
What to watch out for
- Never rely on autoplay in email — use a static thumbnail that links out.
- Personal names and greetings in the copy do not translate to a single video for the whole list.
- Keep it under a minute; a newsletter video longer than that gets abandoned.

Questions people ask
How long does it take?
Ten minutes on top of writing the issue. The items are already drafted, so you are reordering rather than creating new material.
Can I change the wording?
Yes. Newsletter copy often uses jokes and asides that land in text but stall when spoken, so trim those first.
What does it cost?
A monthly one-minute bulletin costs one minute of allowance a month, which the free tier covers to start and Starter £49 covers comfortably thereafter.
