Turn a deck, PRD or proposal into a video
How to attach a pitch deck, PRD or proposal to a Frame24 project so the film is built from what the document argues, not from a slide-by-slide read of it.
A sales deck, a PRD or a proposal is already an argument — a promise, evidence and a next step, in that order more often than not. The fastest way to a film is not writing a script from scratch. It is handing Frame24 the document that already makes the case and letting it find the six scenes inside it.
Where the document goes
There is no separate "upload a deck" screen. A document is attached to the same context field a website URL goes into, on the idea step of the create wizard: describe what the film should be about, optionally point at a page, and drop the file in alongside it. Frame24 reads it the way it reads a page — as material the film can draw a claim, a number or a scene from.
| File type | Read as | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PDF, DOC, DOCX | Document text | Embedded images are extracted separately as brand assets |
| PPT, PPTX | Document text | Slide notes are read along with slide copy |
| TXT, MD, CSV | Plain text | Useful for a script draft, a spec, or a data table a scene should quote |
| HTML, HTM | Markup as text | For a saved page when a live scrape is blocked |
| PNG, JPG, WEBP | Inline image | Read visually rather than as text — a screenshot, a chart, a mockup |
What the film keeps, and what it drops
A deck built to be presented and a film built to be watched alone are different objects, and the gap between them is exactly what gets edited out. A slide with three bullet points and a chart, explained aloud by a presenter, has to become one visible claim on screen. Frame24's read of the document is not a transcription — it is a search for the promise, the proof and the action, the same three things a website is mined for in the website-to-video path.
- The headline claim survives — usually the first slide's promise or the proposal's opening line.
- One or two numbers survive, if the document has them — a specific saving, a specific outcome, not a percentage with no baseline.
- Speaker-note asides, internal caveats and slide-transition copy ('as you can see here') do not.
- A 40-slide deck does not produce a 40-scene film. Expect the same six-scene shape a website produces: tension, promise, how it works, proof, payoff, action.
A sensible sequence
From document to first cut
- Attach the document, and only the document that mattersOne clean deck or proposal produces a sharper film than three drafts of the same one. If you have a final version, use it.
- Add one sentence of framingThe document supplies the argument; the framing tells Frame24 who is watching. "For a CFO deciding between us and a spreadsheet" changes which parts of the same document get emphasised.
- Let the first cut come back before editing the documentIt is faster to see what Frame24 pulled out and correct the emphasis in conversation than to pre-edit a 20-page proposal down to what you think matters.
- Add real product screens if the proposal is about the productA proposal describes the product; it rarely shows it. If the pitch is for software, adding a few captured screens alongside the document gives the film something to demonstrate rather than only assert.
Where this is, and is not, the right tool
This path is strong for a single, ready document that already carries a real argument — a pitch deck, a PRD, a launch brief, a one-pager. It is a weaker fit for a document that is mostly reference material with no throughline, or for a deal that genuinely needs a version personalised per prospect: one well-made film for the argument itself, sent alongside the personal note, tends to outperform ten thin variants.
Questions people ask
Can I turn a PDF or a pitch deck into a video?
Yes. Attach it to a project's context field — the same field that reads a website URL — and the film is built from what the document says, not a template with your logo dropped in. PDF, DOCX, PPTX and PPT are all read as documents; images embedded in a deck are pulled out separately as brand material.
Will the video follow my slide order?
No, and that is deliberate. A deck is built to be presented, with a person filling in connective tissue between slides. A film has to work with nobody talking over it, so the argument is reconstructed into a story rather than read out slide by slide.
What file types can I upload?
PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, TXT, MD, CSV, HTML and HTM, plus PNG, JPG and WEBP if you want to attach a screenshot directly. Up to six files, 12MB each and 30MB in total.
Do I need to clean up the document first?
No. Internal formatting, speaker notes and rough drafts are fine — the film is generated from the argument the document makes, and a messier draft still contains that argument.
Can I combine a document with a website URL?
Yes, in the same project. A document and a URL are both context, and Frame24 draws on whichever material actually supports the specific claim a scene needs to make.
