How to Automate Videos from Your Blog in Revid, Step by Step

To automate videos from a blog in Revid, open Auto Mode in the sidebar, click New worker, pick the Article to Video job, paste your blog's RSS feed as the source, choose a format and click Create worker. The worker then makes one video a day from a new post.

Two mistakes cause most failed setups. The first is pasting the link of a single article: the worker builder refuses single posts and asks for a feed (for one post, use the Article to Video tool instead). The second is expecting a TikTok the next morning. New workers default to "Review First", so nothing gets posted until you switch delivery to "Auto Queue" and connect an account.

#What you need before you start

• A paid plan. Without one, Auto Mode shows "You need to subscribe to a plan to create automations", and if a subscription lapses, the scheduler turns its workers off.
• Your blog's feed URL. A feed usually ends in .xml or /feed (on WordPress, yoursite.com/feed). If your blog has no feed, paste the blog page itself: Revid's AI finds the newest post on the page.
• Connected social accounts, only if you want the videos posted automatically.

Every paid plan includes Auto-Mode workers, the part of Revid's automated video creation that runs on a schedule. One worker can cover one blog or several.

The live Revid pricing page is the authoritative source for current plans.

#How to set up a blog-to-video worker

#Step 1: Open Auto Mode and click New worker

In the sidebar, under Create, click "Auto Mode". It opens /automations, a page titled "Auto-Mode".

• No workers yet: you see "Get a new video, every day" with a "New worker" button. Below it, the "Blog to Video" template is a shortcut for exactly this setup.
• Workers already running: click "New worker" next to "Start a custom worker", or use the "Repurpose a feed" quick start.

#Step 2: Name the worker and pick the Article to Video job

The builder opens at /automations/new.

1. In "1 Name your worker", type a name you will recognize in your list, such as "blog-to-shorts".
2. In "2 What should it make?", pick "Article to Video". It is the job built to watch a blog or RSS feed and turn new articles into videos. "Repurpose Fresh Content" also reads feeds, but Article to Video is the better fit for written posts.

#Step 3: Paste your blog's feed as the source

In "Source of your content", paste the feed URL. The field accepts "A Twitter account, LinkedIn, YouTube channel, subreddit, or blog RSS feed. Use commas for multiple." The Revid blog's feed, for example, is https://www.revid.ai/blog/rss.xml. To cover several blogs with one worker, separate the feeds with commas.

If you paste a single article, the builder answers: "Use an account, channel, subreddit, or RSS feed instead of a single content URL."

The optional "Tell the AI what to do" box shapes every script. Instructions that work well for blog content:

• "Open with the most surprising fact in the article, not its introduction."
• "One idea per scene. Skip anything that needs a chart to understand."
• "End by saying the full post is on our blog."

The same worker setup works for social sources too; see how to automate videos from an X account.

#Step 4: Pick the format, media type, voice and ratio

In "3 Pick the format", choose "Article to Video" under "Tools that fit this goal". The tool's normal creation options then appear.

• Choose media type. The Article to Video format has its own list, including "Article images + stock" and "Article images", and it starts on "Motion graphics". If your posts have strong original images (screenshots, product photos, diagrams), pick Article images + stock. If they rely on generic header images, stay on Motion graphics.
• Voice and music. Pick a narrator and a background track. Preview a few voices: the voice is what viewers hear every single day.
• How should we handle your content. Three choices: "Summarize", "Summarize if long" and "Keep as is". Use Summarize if long for most blogs. Choose Keep as is only for short posts already written to be read aloud, since narration costs 10 credits per started 500 characters and full articles make long videos.
• Advanced options. "Choose your screen ratio" offers portrait (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, landscape (16:9) for YouTube's main feed or a website embed, square (1:1) and feed (4:5). If your blog is not in English, set "Language & Localization" > "Language" instead of leaving it on "Automatic".

#Step 5: Choose Review First or Auto Queue

Under "How should this worker deliver videos?":

• Review First keeps each video in Revid, in Videos and in "Automated outputs" on the Auto-Mode page. Nothing is posted.
• Auto Queue sends each successful run to your posting queue. You then pick accounts in "Select social accounts". Saving Auto Queue with no account selected fails with "Auto Queue has nowhere to post...".

Connect accounts in Settings, under "Integrations" > "Add a network": TikTok, YouTube, Instagram (Business or creator account required), X, and Webhook (to send each post to Zapier, Make or your own URL). The step-by-step is in how to connect social accounts to Revid.

#Step 6: Check the Worker preflight and create the worker

The "Worker preflight" panel on the right sums up your setup: Goal, Tool, Source, Delivery, "Est. credits per run" and "Est. monthly credits" (the per-run estimate times 30). Turn on "Email me each run" if you want a message after every run.

Click "Create worker", or "Create and run once" to get the first video right away instead of waiting for the night (that first run uses credits). As the panel notes: "Runs daily. You can pause or edit it anytime."

#How the worker picks which post to turn into a video

Each worker runs once a day at a fixed time between 1 AM and 5 AM in your account's timezone (Europe/Paris by default). The worker's drawer shows the exact slot as "Daily around X AM". Every run follows the same rules:

1. It reads your feed.
2. It keeps posts from the last 3 days. If there are none, it falls back to the other posts in the feed.
3. It removes any article used in the last 3 runs.
4. The AI picks one post and builds the video.
5. If nothing is left, the run is marked "Skipped".

What this means for you: a blog that publishes once a week still gets a daily video, because the worker reaches into older posts. That is good for evergreen archives. If your feed only holds a few posts, the same article can come back once it drops out of the last 3 runs; pause the worker between posts if you only want brand-new articles.

#How many credits a daily blog video costs

A worker run costs exactly what the same video costs when you make it by hand.

A run only needs 1 credit to start. If your balance runs short mid-run, the run fails, Revid tries auto top-up and emails you once per streak of failures. Turn on auto top-up from the "enable auto top-up" strip on the Auto-Mode page, or buy Credit Boost packs (from 1,000 credits for $49), which never expire and are used after your monthly balance. Failed builds are refunded automatically.

#How to pause, edit or run a worker

Your workers appear under "Your workers", with filters "All", "Active" and "Paused".

• Pause or resume: flip the worker's on/off toggle.
• Edit worker: change the source, instructions, format or delivery.
• Run once: asks "Run this worker now?" and uses credits.
• Clone worker: the fastest way to make a second version, for example the same feed in 16:9 for YouTube.
• Delete worker: removes it.

#How to fix a video before it goes out

On Review First, every video waits in Videos. Click its card to open the editor.

1. Open the "Script" panel to edit any caption segment. Revid then reminds you: "Caption updated. Re-generate voice if timing changed."
2. In the "Audio" panel, click "Re-generate" on the voiceover, then "Generate Voice". This costs 10 credits per started 500 characters and needs a paid plan.
3. To swap a weak visual, select the clip and click "Replace". More options are in how to regenerate media in Revid, and cutting dead air is covered in how to trim a video in Revid.

If you set up a worker with an older tutorial, here is where each setting moved.

#FAQ

#Can I turn a single blog post into a video without a worker?

Yes. Click "Create", open "More tools" or "All tools", choose Article to Video and paste the post's URL. Workers only accept feeds, accounts or channels, not single posts.

#Is Revid's blog to video automation free?

No. Sign-up is free and new accounts get free credits to try video creation, but Auto-Mode workers need a paid plan, starting with Growth at $39/month and 3 workers.

#Can I make my blog videos in another language?

Yes. Set "Language & Localization" > "Language" in the worker's Advanced options, or translate a finished video from its project card with "Translate", which opens the Revid video translator and keeps the edit, media and captions.

#Why didn't my worker post anything to TikTok?

Its delivery is probably still set to "Review First", the default, which keeps videos in Revid. Edit the worker, switch to "Auto Queue" and select a connected TikTok account.
