The bottleneck on a finance newsletter is almost never the quality of the analysis. It is that the analysis exists in one format, on one platform, for one kind of reader. Here is why finance writing converts to video better than almost any other category, and what to do about it.
Four things just shipped on Blog2Video — a Documentary template with a 1960s film finish, Auto-Adjust that sizes every headline and image to its frame, Avatars in beta that lip-sync a photo to your narration, and custom templates generated from your website or brand document.
ChatGPT cannot render a finished video from a chat message on its own, and Claude has no video model at all. Here is what actually happens when you ask, what Sora and Veo really produce, and how an MCP connector lets either assistant return a real narrated MP4.
Neither Claude nor ChatGPT is a video editor — neither can open a timeline, cut a clip, or export an MP4. Here is what each is genuinely good at around the edit, where they differ, and what to connect when you need something actually edited.
Blogs with videos hold readers longer, win video results in Google, and get a second audience on YouTube. Here is what a video blog actually is, what the video should do on the page, and how to add one to a post you have already written.
Substack was valued at $1.1 billion in its July 2025 Series C, on roughly $45M of annualised revenue. Here is where that number comes from, the multiple it implies, and why the number that matters to you is what your own newsletter is worth.
Medium does not pay per view. Earnings come from paying-member reading time, engagement from members, boost status, member conversions, and bonuses for external and search traffic. Here is how each part works and which ones you can actually move.
YouTube is a DR 99 domain that will host a page about your topic, with your link on it, for free. The only reason most writers never collect one is that making the video used to cost a day. Here is the two-minute version — and an honest account of what a nofollow description link is actually worth.
Slop is not a look, it is a production method. Two things separate the AI video generators that produce it from the ones that do not: programmatic rendering, and templates a human actually designed.

Science, bitch. We turned the Breaking Bad RV scene into a stickman parody — panicked Jesse, unflappable Walt, one clean fix — and pointed the same calm, one-move solution at turning your blog into a video.
Every story deserves to be told. Tell yours. The Overlook is a silent night-drive short — a climb up a cliff road, a cigarette over a sea of city lights, and a quiet reminder to go tell your own story.

Numbers alone don't move anyone — an underdog climbing does. Stickman v3 is a growth-story arc: a mascot climbing a trail of milestones toward a summit while the numbers climb with him. Here's how we built it.

The whole thing nearly collapsed, and it started with a house. We stripped the 2008 crash down to four steps you can follow with a row of stick figures and a few charts — a documentary-style Remotion short.

Keep the middle course. We told the full myth of Icarus and Daedalus as a narrated stickman short — wings built feather by feather, the leap over a shining sea, and the fall everyone watches twice. Here's how we built it.
Why, Mister Anderson? Because my content is worth it. We built a full Matrix-style stickman fight — Neo against a red-eyed agent of AI slop, hand-to-hand, bullet-time and all — with voices designed from scratch in ElevenLabs.
One shot. Your videos. A calm stickman in a trench coat and fedora meets a knife-juggling burglar on a rain-slick street — and ends it with a single bullet. A neon-noir short about why you don't need ten takes.

A parody of the legendary Reservoir Dogs diner opening, rebuilt as a stickman short — six suited crooks, six ElevenLabs voices, and one argument over a tip. Here's how we made stick figures carry an ensemble dialogue scene.
They never caught him. We told the legend of Robin Hood as a narrated stickman short — a warning arrow, coins on doorsteps, and a golden arrow split clean in two. Here's how we built the greenwood in code.
Your day, worth a story. A tired salaryman trudges home, rides to the rooftop, and lets out one long sigh under a huge moon. A completely silent stickman short — proof the format can do mood, not just jokes.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy. We animated the myth as a narrated stickman short with a physically honest boulder — and chose to end not on the stone thundering down, but on the man setting his hands to it again.
