Y Combinator’s published video, including its existing captions. Watch the original on YouTube.
Make a Video Presentation From Your Approved Content
Keep your message, figures, and product visuals accurate as you turn them into a presentation people can watch without a live presenter.
Use materials you are allowed to include. Label the product or point each file supports; current upload limits appear in the app.
In practice
Original footage and the finished software explainer
This example enhances a recorded product presentation. It does not demonstrate conversion from a slide deck or a written script. Compare Y Combinator’s original published video with the TapVid version of the same talk. The original already includes captions; it is not unedited camera footage.
TapVid result
The finished video keeps the speaker and message while adding captions, diagrams, and motion.
The workflow
How it works
Provide the message and its sources
Paste the approved script or upload a deck. Name the audience, the decision or task the video supports, and any wording that must appear exactly. Add the matching visuals in the app.
Review what each scene explains
Check the script, narration, and scene plan before rendering. Confirm that each product, figure, or instruction appears with the right visual and that the next step is clear.
Refine the scene that needs a change
Replace an outdated screenshot or revise a line, then rerun the affected scene. Watch the complete result before sharing it with customers or your team.
Overview
A presentation that explains itself
A video presentation combines your explanation with timed visuals so the viewer can follow it without attending a meeting. For a sales follow-up, product update, or internal briefing, the job is to carry the intended message when you are not there to explain the slides.
TapVid is an Explainer Video Engine. Start with approved wording and the materials that support it. Supplied images, logos, and screenshots stay intact; names, figures, and claims stay literal; the scene plan lets you check which visual accompanies each point.
Already have a finished deck? Use the PowerPoint input or the dedicated PPT to Video page. Starting from a script and separate product materials? Build the presentation around those sources without making a slide deck first.
Why TapVid
Keep the presentation tied to the source
Keep approved wording intact
Product names, numbers, prices, and required statements remain as supplied. Separate exact copy from creative direction so a request for a shorter scene does not become permission to change a claim.
Show your real product
Use the screenshots, images, logos, and footage you provide. A viewer should see the product you are describing, with no invented interface or redrawn packaging standing in for it.
Check the relationship between words and visuals
Review the planned scene alongside its script and narration. When a presentation compares two products or explains several steps, verify each match before the final render.
Build a presentation without recording yourself
Start from written content and supplied visuals when you do not need an on-camera presenter. Review the narration script and choose from the voice options currently available in the app.
Update a changing message
A new screenshot or revised sentence can be handled in its own scene. Keep the unaffected scenes and earlier versions available while you prepare the next presentation.
Use cases
Business presentations worth making reusable
Sales follow-ups
Explain one customer problem, show the relevant product evidence, and finish with the approved next step. Give the prospect something they can revisit or forward after a call.
Product and feature updates
Pair each announced change with the current screenshot or supplied clip. Keep availability, plan names, and release details explicit so the video does not turn a future promise into a current feature.
Internal briefings
Present an approved process, project update, or decision with the correct figures and supporting material. Identify the audience and owner of each next step in the source script.
Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
- No. You can start with an approved script and product materials. If your content already lives in a deck, upload a PPT or PPTX file instead. The dedicated PPT to Video page focuses on that deck-first workflow.
- Recording captures you presenting the slides. This workflow builds a video from your supplied message and visuals, with a script and scene plan you can review before rendering. Choose it when the presentation should stand on its own without a live recording.
- Do not assume an identical slide-by-slide layout. TapVid arranges the supplied content into video scenes. Original images and screenshots stay intact, and approved words and figures stay literal. Review the proposed layout and the finished video.
- Yes. You can build from written content and review the narration script before rendering. Current languages, voices, and any relevant limits are shown in the app; this page does not promise a specific avatar or voice-cloning feature.
- Update the affected line or source asset and rerun that scene. Check the result in context, including any other scene that repeats the changed information, before replacing the version you share.
- It produces a video people can watch on their own. Live questions, clickable slide activities, and discussion still need their own format. Keep the video focused on the explanation the viewer should be able to replay.
- Check source permissions, exact wording, scene-to-visual matches, narration, and the next step. Read the current pricing and terms for credits, export options, watermarks, and usage conditions. Review the final video rather than assuming every generated detail is correct.
