Conference communication
Turn a research poster into a narrated video
Make a narrated research poster video by pasting the poster’s selected text and your explanation of its main finding. AutoScribble helps you turn the poster’s spatial layout into an editable spoken sequence. Introduce the question, give enough method context, explain the central contribution and finish with the discussion point you want viewers to remember.
Audience: Conference presenters and postgraduate researchers
Edit your script before generating the video.
Editable starter prompt
Draft a 120-second, 16:9 narrated whiteboard introduction to my research poster for [conference audience]. Use the poster text and presentation notes below. Open with [visitor question], explain the necessary background, outline the method, then focus on [selected finding]. Describe the meaning of the supplied figures through my notes rather than inventing charts or recreating the poster layout. Preserve the stated limitations and distinguish results from interpretation. End with [discussion question] and the supplied route to the full poster. Make the narration sound like a concise poster conversation. [Paste your source material here]
At a poster session, you can see where someone is looking and adapt your explanation. A video needs to provide that route itself. Choose one path through the poster, rather than reading every column in order. Add the spoken connections you would normally supply in person, while keeping the selected findings and their limitations faithful to your source.
Choose a visitor question as the opening
Write the question you would ask or answer when introducing the poster to a colleague. Use it to select the background that belongs in the video. The opening should establish the problem and why this study addresses it, not spend the first scene reciting affiliations or section headings before the viewer knows what the research is about.
Translate the layout into a story
Pull the necessary text from introduction, methods, results and discussion into a separate outline. For each selected visual, describe what it shows and the point you want to make about it. Do not depend on the viewer reading a dense poster in the video. Explain the central relationship using the supplied interpretation and keep the original poster available for detailed inspection.
Finish with the conversation you want to start
End on the study’s contribution and the question you would like a colleague to discuss. Include limitations where they affect that conversation. A two-minute landscape video can work as a concise introduction before someone studies the poster. Review the script by asking whether a viewer could explain the point without having memorised the layout or read every result.

Here is the question that motivated this poster.
- Scene 2

A short overview introduces the supplied study approach.
Narration
This approach provides the context for the result.
- Scene 3
Visual
A takeaway card explains the selected finding.
Narration
This is the central point to take from the poster.
- Scene 4
Visual
A discussion prompt appears beside the poster title.
Narration
This is the question we would like to discuss further.

Questions
- Should the video follow the poster’s columns?
- Only if that order makes sense when spoken. Select a route that introduces the question, explains the evidence needed and arrives at the central contribution.
- Can the animation preserve my entire poster?
- The text-led workflow creates an explanation, not an exact animated poster. Paste the relevant wording and visual interpretations, and keep the original poster available separately.
- What should I do with detailed results tables?
- Select the result necessary for your introduction and explain it with its context. Direct viewers to the poster for the full table instead of compressing every entry into narration.
