⚫︎ Background

In recent years, the use of video in business has expanded rapidly. While video is being utilized in various situations such as sales explanations, product introductions, training, and internal sharing, there is an increasing need, especially among enterprise companies, to convert existing PowerPoint materials directly into video.

Therefore, Video BRAIN has significantly enhanced its PowerPoint import feature so that companies can leverage the PowerPoint assets they already possess. This allows for smoother deployment of existing PowerPoint assets accumulated within the company—such as sales materials, product descriptions, manuals, and training materials—into video content.

Furthermore, by combining this with the AI narration generation feature, it becomes easier to utilize PowerPoint materials as "engaging videos that convey information effectively."

⚫︎ Overview of the "PowerPoint Import Feature" Update

With this update, you can now choose between two import modes depending on the content and purpose of your PowerPoint materials.

Appearance Priority Mode [NEW]

By importing the entire PowerPoint slide as a base, it becomes easier to convert slides containing complex graphs, charts, images, and text layouts into video while minimizing layout collapse.

This mode is suitable for materials where appearance and information accuracy are prioritized, such as sales proposals, product descriptions, operational manuals, and training materials.

Edit Priority Mode

As before, flexible editing such as text correction, adjustment of individual elements, and the addition of effects remains possible.

● Equipped with over 30,000 fonts in addition to major business fonts

Furthermore, with over 30,000 commercially available fonts, the platform supports not only the reproduction of standard corporate materials but also the creation of videos that reflect brand image and content with higher expressive power. We provide a font environment that supports both the reproducibility of practical business materials and creative expression.

● Main Use Cases

・ Sales Proposals & Customer Explanation Videos

Convert proposal materials containing graphs and charts into video while maintaining their appearance. Even in situations where face-to-face explanation is difficult, you can deliver proposal content in an easy-to-understand manner.

・ Product & Service Introduction Videos

Create explanatory videos in a short time based on existing sales or proposal materials. These can be used for sales activities, inside sales, and follow-ups after exhibitions.

・ Manuals & Operational Procedure Videos

Convert materials containing procedures and diagrams into video while minimizing layout collapse. These can be used as operational explanations for staff on-site or as handover content.

・ Internal Education & Training Videos

By adding AI narration to existing training materials, you can efficiently create educational content that is easy to understand.

・ Policy Explanations & Internal Announcement Videos

Even internal materials that are text-heavy and require accurate explanation can be converted into video while maintaining their appearance, helping to ensure thorough communication.

● What is the AI Business Video Editing Cloud "Video BRAIN"?

It is a cloud service that utilizes generative AI technology, allowing anyone to easily create high-quality, story-driven videos without specialized knowledge. Adoption is progressing, particularly among major companies, and it is being used as a communication infrastructure to support the distribution and retention of internal information by converting "top messages," "operational manuals," and "recruitment information"—which are difficult to convey through text or still images—into video. With a UI that can be handled intuitively even by beginners and powerful AI support, it accelerates the in-house production of videos and contributes to the digital transformation (DX) of companies.
