Blog posts from your videos
WideCast can turn the script behind any video into a complete written blog post, so you get an article to go with your video without writing it yourself. From the same screen you can edit the article's text, choose the language it is written in, and publish it straight to your connected accounts.
Generate a blog post from your script
Open a video from Recent on the home screen while it shows Ready to Edit. This opens the Video Script screen, the same script review step covered in Create your first video, which shows your script with two buttons at the bottom: Video to continue building the video, and Article to write a blog post.
Tap Article. WideCast checks whether you already generated a post for this video:
- If you have, it reopens your saved post right where you left off.
- If you have not, the button relabels to Blog and the Output settings sheet opens. Choose the language you want the article written in, then press Write now.
WideCast writes the article's text and creates images for it while a live percentage and countdown track progress, along with short status updates like "Writing main content..." and "Formatting and finalizing...". Press Stop if you want to cancel. When it finishes, your blog post opens automatically with its title, a table of contents, and three buttons: Edit, Publish, and Copy Content.
Edit the blog post text
From the finished article, tap Edit to switch into a rich-text editor. The toolbar lets you set headings (Paragraph, H1, H2, H3), apply bold, italic, and links, and build bulleted or numbered lists. Make your changes, then:
- Tap Save to keep them and return to the article view.
- Tap Cancel to discard your changes and go back to the last saved version.
Need the text somewhere else, like a website's CMS or an email? Tap Copy Content from the article view; it briefly shows Copied! to confirm.
Choose the blog post's language
Set the language before you generate: the Output settings sheet's language field lists dozens of options, from English and Spanish to Chinese and Arabic, so the article is written directly in that language.
The Video Script screen also keeps translated versions of your script. Tap Languages in the header to open the Language sheet, where every version you have is listed and the active one is marked "(Current)". Press Add Translation to add another language, then generate or reopen your blog post while that language is active.
Publish the blog post
From the finished article, tap Publish to open the Publish Blog modal. Under Publish to Social Media, choose which connected accounts to post to from the Platforms list; only the platforms that support written posts show here (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Reddit, Bluesky, and Google Business). No accounts connected yet? Use Connect more platforms, or set them up ahead of time in Connect your platforms.
Leave Include images from article checked to bring the article's images along, then choose when to post:
- Post Now publishes right away.
- Schedule reveals a date and time so you can queue it for later. See Publish and schedule for more on scheduling across platforms.
Press Publish Article (it reads Schedule Article if you picked Schedule). WideCast confirms with a success message once your post is live or queued. If a connected platform needs more setup first, WideCast tells you before it lets you publish.
Common questions
Can WideCast write a blog post from my video?
Yes. Open your video's "Video Script" screen and tap the "Article" button (it relabels to "Blog"). The first time, the "Output settings" sheet opens: pick a language and press "Write now". WideCast writes a full article with a title, section headings, and images from your video's script.
Where do I find the blog post for a video?
Open the video from "Recent" on the home screen while it shows "Ready to Edit". That opens the "Video Script" screen, where the "Article" or "Blog" button at the bottom opens the "Output settings" sheet if you have not generated a post yet, or reopens your saved post if you have.
How do I edit the blog post text?
Open your blog post and tap "Edit". A rich-text toolbar appears with headings, bold, italic, links, and bulleted or numbered lists. Make your changes, then tap "Save" to keep them, or "Cancel" to discard them and return to the last saved version.
Can the blog post be in another language?
Yes, two ways. Choose the language before generating in the "Output settings" sheet, which lists dozens of options, so the post is written directly in that language. Or tap "Languages" in the header to open the "Language" sheet, press "Add Translation" to add another version of the script, then generate or reopen the post while that language is active.
How do I publish the blog post?
Open your blog post and tap "Publish" to open the "Publish Blog" modal. Choose which connected accounts to post to under "Platforms", pick "Post Now" or "Schedule", and press "Publish Article" (it reads "Schedule Article" for a scheduled post). WideCast shows a success message once it is posted or queued.
What happens while my blog post is being generated?
A progress screen tracks WideCast writing the article's text and creating its images, with a live percentage, a countdown, and short status updates like "Writing main content..." and "Formatting and finalizing...". Press "Stop" if you want to cancel; you can pick up generation again later from the same button.
Can I copy the blog post to use somewhere else, like my website?
Yes. Open your blog post and tap "Copy Content" to copy the full article text to your clipboard, ready to paste into a website, CMS, or email.
Do I need to connect social accounts before I can publish my blog post?
Yes, at least one. The "Publish Blog" modal's "Platforms" list only shows accounts you have already connected. If none are connected yet, use "Connect more platforms" from that same list to add one.
Can I schedule my blog post to publish later instead of right away?
Yes. In the "Publish Blog" modal, choose "Schedule" instead of "Post Now" to reveal a date and time picker, then press "Schedule Article" to queue the post for that time.
Does generating a blog post use credits?
Yes, generating a new blog post uses credits, like other AI content WideCast creates for you. Editing text you already generated is free.
What is the difference between the blog post and social captions?
The blog post is a full article, with a title, section headings, and its own images, generated from your video's script and edited in a rich-text editor. Social captions are the short per-platform text WideCast writes to go along with your video post on each platform.
