Before you turn a blog into a video

Can I paste someone else blog?

Get permission or use material you have rights to adapt; a public page is not automatic permission for a video copy.

Why does the video feel too long?

Keep one main takeaway and cut background paragraphs that do not need a visual scene.

Do I need to read every word aloud?

Use shorter spoken phrases and let the pictures show details that do not need narration.
