Hello,
The tools for converting blog posts to videos was really effective for me. I didn’t know about the process. Using powerpoint to convert the blog into videos is very helpful for me. Thank you very much to help us by giving the post.
Ammar, thanks for posting this! I think adding videos to my blog posts has the potential to really increase engagement, but I am still only in the beginning stages. I downloaded Filmora and am starting to learn how it works. I bought a green screen and some nice lighting to improve my videos.
I have not thought about using Powerpoint, but think that would be a good option to increase reader interaction.
Do you by chance any posts or videos on how to use Filmora?
Thanks!
Steve
