Overview of the Create Menu

TL;DR; The Create menu in Lupo has five tools that all turn something you already have into a video: PowerPoint, Google Slides, PDF, or an existing video you want to improve. This page is a quick map of which tool to use when.

When you sign in to Lupo and open the Create menu, you'll see five options. They're all variations of the same idea — "take knowledge, give back video" — but each one is tuned for a different starting format.

When to use it

Create Video From PowerPoint

A .pptx file with narrations in the speaker notes

A finished video

You already have a deck and notes. The fastest path.

Generate Narration From PowerPoint

A .pptx file with no narrations yet

The same .pptx file with AI-generated narrations in the notes

You have slides but never wrote the script.

Create Video From Google Slides

A Google Slides URL (speaker notes filled in)

A finished video

Your team works in Google Workspace and doesn't want to export to .pptx.

Convert PDF to Slides

A .pdf file

A .pptx file

Your source content is a PDF — a manual, a one-pager, a research paper.

Improve Audio and Narration

A video URL or .mp4 upload

A transcript as PowerPoint or Markdown

You already have a video and want to get a cleaner version, or turn it into an editable deck.

How the tools connect

These tools are designed to chain together. A realistic flow looks like this:

  1. You start with a PDF (say, a compliance manual).
  2. You run it through Convert PDF to Slides to get a .pptx out.
  3. You open that .pptx, fix anything that needs fixing, and run it through Generate Narration From PowerPoint to add a first-draft script.
  4. You review the narration, tweak it, and run the final file through Create Video From PowerPoint to get the finished video.
  5. You publish the video as an activity inside a course in the Learning (LMS) section.

You don't have to do all five steps. Most people start at step 4 with a deck they already wrote narrations for. But knowing the chain exists is useful when your source material is messy.

The email pattern

Every creation tool in Lupo follows the same pattern: you upload, you wait, you get an email.

Video generation doesn't happen while you watch a spinner. You upload the file (or paste the URL), click the button, and close the tab. A few minutes later you get an email with a link back to the project. That email is what you're waiting for — and it's the same pattern across all five tools.

If you don't get the email after a reasonable wait, check your spam folder first, then contact help@lupo.ai.
