How to Automate Videos from LinkedIn Posts with Revid (2026)
Set up a Revid Auto Mode worker that watches your LinkedIn profile and turns one new post into a short video every day. Includes the current builder steps, what each run does, and how to get the videos onto LinkedIn.
On this page
To turn LinkedIn posts into videos automatically, open Auto Mode in Revid, click New worker, pick the Social Content to Video job, paste your LinkedIn profile URL and choose a format. Then click Create worker. The worker runs once a day between 1 AM and 5 AM and turns one new post into a video.
Two mistakes stop most LinkedIn workers before they make a single video. The first is pasting the link to one post: Revid refuses it, because a worker needs a profile to watch. The second is expecting the video to land back on LinkedIn. Revid publishes to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and X, not LinkedIn, so the real payoff is turning posts you have already written into short-form video for the platforms you don't have time to feed.
What you need before you start
| You need | Why |
|---|---|
| A paid plan | Auto Mode needs an active subscription. Growth includes 3 workers, Elite 5 and Ultra 10 (see Revid plans and credits). |
| Your LinkedIn profile URL | The worker watches a profile, for example linkedin.com/in/yourname. Links to single posts are rejected. |
| Credits | Each run costs what the same video costs when you make it by hand. |
| Connected social accounts (optional) | Only needed if you want finished videos sent straight to your posting queue. |
Workers are Revid's way to automate video creation from any content: you set one up once, and it makes a fresh video every day until you pause it.
Step 1: Open Auto Mode and click New worker
In the left sidebar, under Create, click Auto Mode. It opens the Auto-Mode page (/automations). The old Automations tab inside Videos is gone, so old bookmarks to it only open your video list.
Click New worker. If you have no workers yet, the button sits under "Get a new video, every day". If you already have some, it sits next to "Start a custom worker".
Step 2: Name the worker and pick the job
The New worker page has three numbered steps on the left and a Worker preflight panel on the right.
- Under Name your worker, type a name you will recognize in a list, such as linkedin-post-videos.
- Under What should it make?, pick Social Content to Video ("Watch a social account and turn new posts into scroll-stopping videos"). Repurpose Fresh Content also accepts a LinkedIn profile, so either job works for this setup.
Step 3: Paste your LinkedIn profile URL
In Source of your content, paste your profile URL, the one with /in/ in it. The helper text lists what the field accepts: "A Twitter account, LinkedIn, YouTube channel, subreddit, or blog RSS feed. Use commas for multiple." To watch several profiles with one worker, separate their URLs with commas.
Revid has a dedicated reader for personal LinkedIn profiles. A company page URL is handled like any other web page, so if you want to use one, test it with Create and run once (Step 6) before you rely on it.
The optional Tell the AI what to do box is where you shape every video the worker makes. LinkedIn posts are written to be read, not heard, so give the script writer direction. A few instructions that work:
- "Open with the most surprising line of the post as the hook, then explain it in plain words."
- "Keep my wording and opinions. Do not add facts that are not in the post."
- "Write for founders. End with the single takeaway, no hashtags, no emojis."
Prompt to try
Make a 40-second vertical video for founders based on this LinkedIn insight: most startups hire a salesperson too early. Open with the hook "Your first sales hire should be you." Use clean motion graphics with bold text for each point, a calm confident voice, and end on one clear takeaway without hashtags.
Step 4: Pick the format, media, voice and ratio
Under Pick the format, choose a tool from "Tools that fit this goal". The preflight panel shows which tool is selected. After you pick one, the tool's usual creation options appear: media type, voice, music and Advanced options.
Choose media type offers six options:
| Media type | What you get | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| AI video | Generated video scenes | You want motion in every scene and accept a higher cost per run |
| Animated AI images | Still AI images moved by zooms and pans (the default) | You want a cheap, consistent daily look |
| Motion graphics | Animated text and shapes | Your posts are lists, frameworks or numbers |
| Stock videos | Real stock footage | Your posts are about general topics that stock covers well |
| Your own media | Files you upload | You have photos or clips of your product or team |
| Static / Gameplay | A fixed or gameplay background | You want a narrated, caption-first format |
The screen ratio now lives in Advanced options under Choose your screen ratio, with four choices:
- 9:16 (portrait) if the videos are going to TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
- 4:5 (feed) for a feed-sized post.
- 1:1 (square) for a square feed post.
- 16:9 (landscape) for a regular YouTube video or a desktop-first audience.
For exact dimensions per platform, see the social media video sizes cheat sheet.
The old Prevent content summarization toggle is gone. If your format shows How should we handle your content, it now offers Summarize, Summarize if long and Keep as is. Summarize if long suits most LinkedIn posts: short posts stay intact, and long ones are cut down to a watchable script.
Step 5: Choose how the videos are delivered
Under How should this worker deliver videos?, pick one option:
| Option | What happens | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Review First (default) | Each video lands in Videos and in Automated outputs on the Auto-Mode page | The first weeks, or any account where a wrong line would hurt |
| Auto Queue | Each successful run goes to the posting queue of the accounts you choose under Select social accounts | A worker you already trust |
Auto Queue needs at least one connected account. If you save it without one, the builder refuses with "Auto Queue has nowhere to post". Turn on Email me after every worker run if you want a notice each time a video is ready.
Step 6: Check the preflight and create the worker
The Worker preflight panel sums up your setup: Goal, Tool, Source, Delivery and Est. credits per run. Est. monthly credits is that cost times 30, since the worker runs every day. If the monthly figure is more than your plan covers, switch to a cheaper media type before you save.
You have two buttons:
- Create worker saves it, and the first video arrives on the next daily run.
- Create and run once saves it and makes a video right away (this uses credits). Use it to check the output before the worker runs on its own.
What the worker does every day
Each worker runs once a day at a fixed hour between 1 AM and 5 AM in your account's time zone (Europe/Paris unless you changed it). The worker's panel shows the hour as "Daily around X AM".
On each run, the worker reads your profile and keeps posts from the last 3 days. It drops any post used by its last 3 runs, and the AI then picks one post to turn into a video. If you haven't posted anything new, the run is marked Skipped and costs nothing to make. To keep a daily video coming, post on LinkedIn at least every few days.
From the worker list (filters All, Active, Paused) you can switch a worker on or off. Its menu offers Edit worker, Run once, Clone worker and Delete worker. A few rules worth knowing:
- Only 1 credit is needed to start a run. If the balance runs short mid-build, the run fails, Revid tries auto top-up, and you get an email.
- The "enable auto top-up" link on the Auto-Mode page sets up automatic credit refills so workers don't stall.
- If your subscription ends, Revid switches your workers off.
Fix a video before it goes out
With Review First, open the video from Videos or Automated outputs. Clicking the card opens the editor.
- Open Script in the editor's left rail. Every caption segment has its own text box, so you can fix a word or cut a line.
- After a text change, Revid shows "Caption updated. Re-generate voice if timing changed." Open Audio and click Re-generate on the voiceover. In the dialog, keep Keep timeline in sync on and click Generate Voice.
- A new voiceover costs 10 credits per started 500 characters.
To swap a scene's image or clip, see the guide to regenerate media in a Revid project. To shorten a video on the timeline, see how to trim a video in Revid.
How to post the videos on LinkedIn
Revid publishes and schedules to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and X, and can send each post to a Webhook (Zapier, Make or your own URL). It does not publish to LinkedIn. To post a video there, export it from the editor and upload it in LinkedIn yourself.
LinkedIn accepts videos up to 15 minutes and 5 GB, at aspect ratios from 1:2.4 to 2.4:1. LinkedIn's full-screen vertical feed is mobile-only and you can't post to it directly, but any video you post may appear there, so a 9:16 export works on LinkedIn as well.
For the other platforms, connect your accounts under Settings > Integrations (Add a network) and you can publish or schedule videos from one queue. The full walkthrough is in the guide to connect social accounts to Revid.
Turn one LinkedIn post into a video without a worker
If you only want a video from one strong post, skip Auto Mode. The LinkedIn Post to Video tool makes a single video from that post, with the same media, voice and caption options, and it needs no schedule.
The same worker setup also works with other sources: see how to automate videos from an X account or turn a blog into daily videos.
FAQ
Can Revid post videos directly to LinkedIn?
No. Revid publishes to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and X, plus a Webhook. For LinkedIn, export the video and upload it yourself.
Does the worker work with a LinkedIn company page?
It is built for personal profiles (URLs with /in/). A company page URL is read like an ordinary web page, so test it with Create and run once before you count on it.
What happens if I don't post on LinkedIn for a few days?
The worker only uses posts from the last 3 days that its last 3 runs haven't used. When there is nothing new, the run is marked Skipped and no video is made.
Can I change or pause a LinkedIn worker later?
Yes. Use the worker's on/off toggle to pause it, or choose Edit worker from its menu to change the source, format, voice or delivery.
Do I need a paid plan to automate LinkedIn videos?
Yes. Auto Mode needs an active subscription: Growth includes 3 workers, Elite 5 and Ultra 10.
