For example, I have several posts that explain concepts in detail, with supporting images. They're written in Markdown, and I keep refining them until I'm confident that the average person can read them and immediately understand the concept.

The problem is that text is becoming a less popular medium for learning, while short form videos are increasingly being used to explain the same ideas.

From what I can tell, this tool only lets you provide a prompt. Can it turn my existing Markdown posts and images into videos, or is it mainly intended for generating videos from simple prompts? I'm looking for something that preserves the explanations I've already written rather than creating something entirely new.

One small quirk I noticed with the generated short video: for each new slide/photo, there is a very gradual "zoom in" effect that occurs, which causes text to jitter a bit and is a bit disorienting. Not sure if that is specific to the "The Great Molasses Flood of 1919 in Boston" prompt I used or not.

Also, is Claude involved in the video generation itself? I noticed the generated video has "By Claude" in the top left corner, but the logs seem to indicate that only GLM-5.2, Gemini Flash, and GPT-4o are involved (just curious!)

Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung (Short form)

The audio narration is great and the documentary is accurate. Improvements could include more pictures or animations.

This is a very great tool and framework! Thank you so much.
