What does document to video mean in KPainter?

Document to video means using PDFs, Word files, Excel data, PowerPoint decks, reports, or technical documents as the source for a narrated explainer. KPainter organizes the source around the viewer’s question; it does not simply place document pages into an MP4 file.

Which file types can I upload to turn into a video?

Use the + button on the creation page to add a PDF, PowerPoint file, Word document, Excel workbook, or image. Then state what the video should explain, teach, or summarize. Keep the original source available while you review the result.

Can I use a PDF, Word document, and spreadsheet in the same explanation?

Yes, when they support the same story. Add the needed files, then say which document should lead and what the others add. Keep the originals available for review, especially when figures, dates, or approvals matter.

How do I turn spreadsheet data into an explanation instead of a table on screen?

Add the workbook or the chart that matters, then ask a question about the comparison rather than asking KPainter to show every cell. For example: “Using this sales-by-region chart, explain the biggest change this quarter and compare it with our target.”

Can I start from a web link or only from a file?

You can paste a public web link directly into the request, or combine it with an uploaded source when both are needed. If a page is not publicly accessible or does not contain the exact content you need, upload the document or paste the key context into your request instead.

What makes a document-to-explainer workflow useful?

Start with the current source, choose one viewer question, make the relevant sequence or comparison visible, and keep the source available for detail and updates.

Before you start

Use the current, complete source version
Mark the sections, steps, charts, or figures that deserve focus
Identify the terms, numbers, warnings, or wording that must remain

A focused path

Let the source shape the video

1
Name the job of the source
Is it a report, training manual, course chapter, data briefing, or technical reference?
2
Keep the useful structure
Use the headings, terms, figures, steps, and relationships that make the source trustworthy.
3
Choose a watchable outcome
Create a precise explainer, a training walkthrough, or a lesson sequence for the people who need it.

Useful next step

Use a resource or case that matches this task

Turn an existing source into a clear, reviewable explainer

Explainer video workflow

Choose the document-to-video path that fits the job

The same source can support different videos. Choose the outcome by what the viewer needs to understand or do next.

01
Explain a document
Best when a report, paper, or technical guide has one relationship that is hard to see from text alone.
Bring the source question, the pages or figures that answer it, and the audience that needs the explanation.
02
Train a team
Best when a handbook, SOP, or policy needs to become one clear moment of work or learning.
Scope the video to one role, task, or handoff. Keep the current document as the reference for full rules and updates.
03
Brief a decision
Best when a report and its data need to prepare someone for a meeting, choice, or discussion.
Name the decision first, then use only the charts, comparisons, and context that make that choice easier to recognise.
