Easy to Make Video from Text with Wibbitz

I found a new service on the Web that automatically converts text to video for a Web site. The service, Wibbitz, uses your RSS feed with the headline and images to create a video, complete with voiceover narration and a soundtrack. Here's one I created using Wibbitz in about 2 minutes so you can see what the results look like:

All you need is an RSS feed from a blog or your Web site. Go to Wibbitz at www.wibbitz.com, enter your email address and your RSS feed, and in a few seconds Wibbitz creates your video. HTML embed code is provided so you can cut and paste the video player on your Web site (as I did above).

All of this is completely free, and takes about 2 minutes. It's possible to customize the video to remove the voiceover, create a loop that automatically plays non-stop, adjust the size of the video player, and change the music from to a few different selections. From a conversation with Wibbitz, I learned that they use the 10 most recent RSS posts from your RSS feed to incorporate into the video.

It's important to use a graphic with each RSS post in order to get the full imact of the video, so you might want to go back and add a graphic to any text only posts you're using in the RSS feed.
