# Newsletter Promo Video Maker

A short video for every newsletter issue — the best idea, teased — made by hand or automatically from your RSS feed, to grow subscribers.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/newsletter-promo-video-maker
Search intent: A newsletter writer or creator business that wants to grow subscribers from TikTok, Reels and Shorts without making videos by hand.

## What it produces

- 5 to 8 scenes, each with one spoken line and one generated frame
- A minute by default; 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds are selectable in the composer (paid plans to 180s). Scene length comes from the narration's true duration
- ElevenLabs voiceover: 5 voices, narrating in any of 29 languages
- Word-timed captions burned in from the voice model's own character alignment
- A licensed music bed, ducked under the narration, loudness-normalised master
- 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, 1080-class, no watermark on any plan

## Preset applied on this page

- Source type: prompt
- Voice: elli
- Captions: highlight
- Music: lofi
- Visual style: watercolor
- Aspect ratio: 9:16

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

This string is prepended to whatever the visitor types before the scriptwriter
sees it — in the free preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "newsletter-promo-video-maker"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Write a short video promoting one newsletter issue. Open on the issue’s most surprising idea, give enough to be genuinely useful on its own, hold back the full argument, and close by saying the rest is in the newsletter and how to subscribe. Use only facts from the user’s text; never invent subscriber numbers, quotes or statistics.

## Example inputs from the page

- This week: why small-town hardware stores are quietly outlasting the big boxes
- The one spreadsheet column that changed how I budget, from this week’s issue
- Three AI tools our readers actually kept using after a month, and one they dropped

## Free with an account

The widget on the page runs the real scriptwriter with this preset and returns the
script, the per-scene image prompts and the estimated runtime. That needs a free
account — it takes a moment and no card — and costs no credits. Rendering the
visuals, voiceover and final file does spend credits.

## How it works

1. **Type the issue’s big idea** — Or connect the newsletter’s RSS feed to Auto-Mode on Pro.
2. **Useful, then a hook** — Enough to be worth watching, with the rest left for the newsletter.
3. **Post, and point to subscribe** — Published to TikTok, Reels and Shorts; your signup link goes in the bio.

## Every issue is already a video

A newsletter issue has one idea worth spreading, and short video is where new readers find writers now. The trouble is time: the issue took all week, and nobody wants to also produce a video about it. This writes a teaser from the issue’s big idea, useful on its own, that ends by sending viewers to subscribe.

The look defaults to soft watercolour illustration, which suits essays and commentary better than stock-footage realism, with captions highlighted as they are spoken. Keep it fixed and every issue’s video reads as the same publication.

## Automatic from your RSS feed

Most newsletter platforms publish an RSS feed of past issues — Substack, for example, serves one at /feed. Auto-Mode can take an RSS feed as its source: each run makes a video from the newest issue it has not used yet, written from that issue’s title and summary in the feed.

Auto-Mode is on Pro ($49 a month, 3 workers) and Studio ($149, 10 workers). Give it a topic or an RSS feed and a cadence — every day, every 2 days, every 3 days, every week — and each run writes, renders and publishes a new video to the accounts you connected.

## Growth without invented numbers

The brief never invents subscriber counts, quotes or statistics, because a newsletter’s credibility is the whole asset. Only facts from your issue are used, and the script comes back before anything renders when you make one by hand.

Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Pro ($49 a month, 2,000 credits) covers about 153 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 29 with AI motion in every scene.

## Who it is for

- **Independent newsletter writers** — A video per issue that brings new subscribers from short-video feeds.
- **Creator businesses** — The newsletter as the hub, short video as the top of the funnel.
- **B2B newsletters** — Industry insight teased on LinkedIn-style 1:1 or vertical feeds.
- **Local news and community newsletters** — This week’s story teased for neighbours who have not subscribed yet.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | Re-write the issue as a script, then film and edit it. | The issue’s big idea, or your RSS feed on a schedule. |
| Visuals | Talking head or stock footage that says nothing. | Watercolour illustration per line, in one consistent look. |
| Voiceover | Book a VO artist, or record yourself and cut the breaths out. | Five ElevenLabs voices, re-recorded free whenever the line changes. |
| Captions | Auto-captions that drift, then an hour nudging keyframes. | Burned in from the voice model’s own word alignment, so they land on the syllable. |
| Turnaround | The video that never gets made because the issue took all week. | Automatic per issue with Auto-Mode, or minutes by hand. |
| Changing it | Re-record the line, re-cut the timeline, re-export, re-upload. | Edit the line and only its voice is re-recorded, free. A new still is free too; a new motion clip is free once per video. |

## FAQ

### Can it make a video from each new issue automatically?

Yes, on Pro or Studio, if your newsletter has an RSS feed: Auto-Mode makes a video from the newest issue it has not used, written from the feed’s title and summary.

### Can it read a full issue from its link?

The composer’s link workflow fetches a public web page and reads its text, which works for most public newsletter posts. Paywalled issues cannot be read.

### Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. Your first video is free: 30 seconds in pictures, with voice, music and captions. No card. AI motion, videos longer than 30 seconds and sound effects need a plan, from $7 a month.

### What does it cost?

Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee.

### Can the video link to my signup page?

A video file has no clickable link. The script says to subscribe; put the signup link in your bio or the description.

### Can it post to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube?

Connect TikTok, Instagram and YouTube once and publish to TikTok, Reels and Shorts from the app, on every plan. Mini connects 1 account, Starter 3, Pro 6 and Studio 25.

### Can I change the illustration style?

Yes. Watercolour is the default here; cinematic, documentary, 3D, anime, comic and the other styles are a dropdown in the composer.

### Do I own the videos?

You own the videos on every plan and can use them commercially, paid ads included. There is no watermark on any plan, the export is 1080p, and the music beds are licensed for commercial use with no attribution.

### Do I have to sign up to try this?

Yes, a free one. Signup takes a moment and needs no card. Once you are signed in, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making.

### What does it cost?

Starter is $19 a month for 600 credits, Pro $49, Studio $149. A credit is a unit of pipeline cost rather than a video, so a five-scene short costs less than a nine-scene one, and you see the estimate before you spend anything.

### Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?

You own them, on every plan, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, and a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
