Let your document tell a story.
Turn a lesson, guide, or short deck into a draft animated explanation. Upload a PDF, choose how to cast the scenes, and review the narration before creating an editable Voodle project.
Start with an idea like this
Start with a short PDF about the water cycle. Focus the video on evaporation, condensation, and rainfall. Review the science and labels before sharing the recap.
Scene 1
A lesson in your PDF
Scene 2
Three scenes to review
Scene 3
A narrated video recap
Choose a focused document
Use a readable PDF with a clear sequence. The analysis renders up to the first 60 pages; split longer documents into focused files. Unreadable or password-protected files may fail. Small labels, scans, handwriting, tables, and formulas need careful review.
Choose the artwork and check extraction
Use library artwork, figures detected in the PDF, or a mix. Figure detection and text extraction can miss details. Check character crops, names, diagrams, and numerical values against the source; simplify dense pages into a few useful scenes.
Review an adaptation of the document
The result is a proposed story rather than a page-for-page recording of your PDF. Remove cover-page narration and repeated points, rewrite the script, and adjust the generated project in the editor. Export the finished animation as an MP4.
Questions before you start
Will the video preserve my PDF layout exactly?
No. Voodle uses the document to propose narrated scenes. Review the adaptation and edit it; the exported video is not a faithful recording of each PDF page.
Can I use scanned PDFs?
Readable scans can be analyzed, but extraction and figure detection may miss details. Check all generated text and artwork. A clear document with selectable text is easier to review.
What happens with a long PDF?
The analysis renders up to the first 60 pages. Split a longer document into shorter files and keep each video focused on one topic.
