Thread to Video is a ready-to-render Content creator / social video design formatted for Instagram Reel · 9:16 with 5 scenes and support for variables, data-driven repeat. Open it in the editor to replace its copy and media, then render variations through the Zvid API.
8 variables: Every value below is a variable you can override — send them in the variables field of the render request (or edit them in the editor) to generate on-brand versions at scale.

textScript one watches my blog RSS. Every new post becomes a JSON payload: title, key points, cover image.

textScript two sends that JSON to a video API. Ninety seconds later there's a vertical video in my S3 bucket.

textScript three schedules it everywhere. I write once — the machines do the distribution. That's the whole trick.

This is the full render config — POST it to the API, or open it in the editor to tweak.
