The carousel you already made, as a narrated video
It reads your carousel layer by layer and rebuilds each slide as a video scene in the same type and colors, then writes and speaks the narration over it. The words are the slides' own — it never adds a claim they do not carry.
- Every slide becomes a scene
- Re-laid, not letterboxed
- Narration, music and an MP4
An editor rebuilding ten slides as motion is a day's work at a day's rate.
- Estimated cost
- Estimate: around 500 credits including narration and a soundtrack.
- Estimated time
- Allow roughly 10–20 minutes; the render dominates and longer carousels cost more of it.
What you give it

Who it's for
The carousel that deserved more than one post
You already made it, it already works, and it is sitting in the Gallery. This is the second life it never got because nobody had a day to edit video.
Teams shipping to Reels, Shorts and TikTok
Pick 9:16 and the slides are re-laid onto the vertical frame — type and pictures repositioned — rather than a square carousel with bars top and bottom.
Anyone who needs the words to stay true
The slides are the whole script. The narration says what they say; it does not embellish to fill a beat.
Ten slides in, one narrated MP4 out
Open it with a carousel from your Gallery — the Create video button on the carousel editor does exactly this — and pick a frame. It reads each slide's verbatim layers, every font, weight, color and position, and rebuilds them as scenes on the new frame rather than filming the flat picture. Each slide gets its own narration, timed so the slide holds for as long as the voice needs plus a short settle, with the type staggered so the headline lands first. A soundtrack runs underneath, ducked under the voice. The finished MP4 is filed in the Gallery ready to download.

Questions worth asking
Is this just my carousel as a slideshow with a zoom on it?
No. Filming the flat slide is exactly what it refuses to do. Each slide is read layer by layer and recreated in the video's own schema — the background plate, then every text and picture layer with its real font, size, color and position — so the type is live in the edit and can move independently.
If I pick 9:16, does my 4:5 carousel get bars?
No. The slides are re-laid onto the frame you choose: type and pictures are placed at the same relative positions on the new shape. You get a vertical video, not a square one in a letterbox.
Can I control the length?
Give it a target in seconds and it meets it by trimming or extending the narration script — never by speeding up the voice or dropping a slide. Leave it empty and the narration decides.
It reads the carousel out of the same Gallery every other app files into, so the video is made from the exact piece you approved rather than a re-run of it.
