How do I start? — integrations, templates and the first paste
I begin by connecting my WordPress sites and configuring integrations. I’ve added my digital marketing Tamil blog, alstonantony.com, and a test site so I can push posts directly. Once integration is set, creating a post is simple: click Create Blog Post, paste the YouTube URL and the tool grabs title, thumbnail and transcript automatically. I save these settings as a template so I can re-use them in one click.
What template settings do I recommend to mimic my voice?
I use a custom template that tells the AI to use my own words and phrases from the video, write in first person, and stay factual rather than inventing new information. Key template choices I rely on:
- Length: Auto — it adjusts according to video length so it avoids fluff when converting short clips.
- Language: Auto — works well for me since English is my second language and I prefer the tool to respect my phrasing.
- Premium transcription: On for quality (expect 5–8 minutes processing). Off for speed if you want near-instant drafts.
Why I always turn on embed video and screenshots
I turn on embed video so the final article includes the original media. I also enable automatic screenshots — this is one of my favorite features. The tool creates screenshots from the video, auto-generates captions and descriptive file names, and even writes alt tags for accessibility. This saves me a lot of manual work when building a polished post.
How do chapters and table of contents improve the output?
When I use chapters as outline, the app converts them into H2/H3 headings and builds a table of contents automatically. This results in a structured article rather than a raw transcript dump. The generated H2s match the video flow, which makes the post more readable and SEO-friendly.
Should I let the tool add links and metadata automatically?
Yes—but cautiously. Internal links and sitemap inclusion are powerful for SEO, so I recommend enabling them once your site has enough content. External links are added contextually and often include authoritative sources like Wikipedia or Cloudflare. My workflow: keep automatic external links on, but only enable internal linking after my site transfer is complete so links are accurate.
What pitfalls did I encounter and how did I fix them?
My main mistake was using an overly long keyword as the target. The AI tried to cram that phrase into titles and headings, which looked spammy. Fix: pick concise target keywords or edit the generated title and headings before publishing.
How long does it take to go from video to published post?
With premium transcription enabled, generation can take 5–8 minutes. After that, I manually edit obvious issues, adjust headings, confirm screenshots and alt tags, and add category and SEO metadata in WordPress. Export and upload is usually 1–2 seconds for text; images may add a few seconds while they upload and insert into the post.
What export and publishing options do I use?
I push drafts directly to WordPress using the built-in integration. The tool creates clean block editor content (Gutenberg), uploads images with descriptive file names and alt tags, and even suggests meta title and description. I do a final pass in WordPress (set category, refine meta) and then publish. For some theme layouts I replace the embedded video with a full-width link to match my site’s design.
How do I repurpose the generated content?
Each post comes with ready-made social promotions — Instagram captions, LinkedIn copy, Facebook posts, and an email promo. I tweak those and use them to quickly promote the new article. This single workflow lets me scale from one video to multiple content outputs in minutes.
Is it safe to rely on automated publishing?
I don’t automate everything. I always review and edit the generated article manually before publishing. Automation is useful, but human review catches context mistakes, awkward phrasing, and keyword stuffing. The tool speeds up heavy lifting but I keep final control.
Final thoughts on this Video To Blog AI Review
Video To Blog AI changed how I scale content. I’ve generated 70+ SEO articles using this workflow, and it’s become an essential part of my content strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the transcript and should I use premium transcription?
Premium transcription gives better accuracy and higher quality transcripts, which improves the article output. If you want speed, disable premium; if you want fewer edits and better structure, enable premium and expect 5–8 minutes processing.
Can I push posts directly to WordPress and keep images uploaded?
Yes. I connect WordPress once in settings, then export posts directly as Gutenberg blocks. The tool uploads screenshots to your media library with descriptive file names and alt tags automatically.
Will the AI invent content not present in my video?
If you instruct the AI (via template) to use only the video content and mimic your voice, it will avoid creative additions. I tell it to stay factual and use my own words and phrases, which reduces invented content.
What are the best visuals to include in a video-to-blog post?
Use the video thumbnail as the featured image, include automatic screenshots at relevant moments, and keep the embedded video near the top. Screenshots with generated captions and alt tags improve accessibility and user experience.
How do I avoid spammy titles and keyword stuffing?
Provide concise target keywords, review the generated title and headings, and edit any over-optimized phrases. Keep keyword density natural and focus on helpful, readable headings.
