Explainer videos from articles
You already wrote the explainer. direktor rewrites it into a spoken script, narrates it, and illustrates each segment — giving you a shareable video without booking a voice actor or opening a timeline editor.
input a blog post or explainer article → output narrated 1920×1080 MP4
Why direktor fits
- The source material already exists as written text — direktor reshapes it, it does not invent the story.
- You want a repeatable process you can re-run when the article changes, not a one-off manual edit.
- Illustrative stills are enough; you do not need camera motion or live footage.
- You want to keep spend on your own OpenAI and Replicate accounts.
A typical run
- Export the article to a plain text file.
- Run direktor build article.txt and let the six stages run.
- Skim image_prompts.json; rewrite any prompt that reads generic, then resume.
- Publish output.mp4 to YouTube, a landing page, or social.
Honest caveat
Output quality tracks the source: a sharp, well-structured article makes a sharp video. direktor optimises and narrates — it will not rescue a weak draft.
