AI Video Studio was specifically built to eliminate the production barrier. You don’t need a camera, a microphone, a studio, or any video editing skills. If you can upload a PowerPoint file or type a paragraph of text, you can produce a professional video. How does PPTX-to-Video actually work?AI Video Studio reads both the visible slide content and the speaker notes attached to each slide. If your slides have speaker notes, those become the narration script. If they don’t, AI generates a script based on the slide content. Each slide becomes a scene in the video, with your chosen avatar presenting the narration while the slide visuals appear on screen. How good is the translation quality?AI Video Studio supports 75+ languages with high-quality AI translation that handles most professional and technical content accurately. Voice cloning is available in 28 languages—allowing the original speaker’s voice to narrate in each translated version. Can I update a video if the content changes?Yes. Because the video is generated from a script and slides, you can open any video, edit the script for a specific scene, update the slide content, and re-render that section without touching the rest of the video. ## Ready to create high-quality video in minutes with AI? Elai, Panopto’s AI Video Studio, enables your organization to create high-quality video in minutes with AI at scale without a camera or production team. **Already a Panopto customer?** Talk to your account team about adding AI Video Studio for a seamless create-to-manage workflow.
