Turn Your Paper into a 3-Minute Video People Actually Watch
Cognivault transforms dense research into a 3-minute cinematic video — professionally scripted, storyboarded, subtitled, and mastered for websites, conferences, and social platforms.
From Dense Slides to a 3-Minute Cinematic Explainer
We convert text-heavy research into a 3-minute video people finish — with subtitles, motion graphics, and clear storytelling that travels across websites, conferences, and social.
Clear voiceover + on-screen captions improve retention and accessibility on any platform.
We storyboard the narrative and animate key ideas so non-specialists “get it” fast.
You get a master MP4, caption files, thumbnail, and short teasers for conferences & social.
Why Video Works for Research
Visual storytelling drives engagement, understanding, and reach. A 3-minute video delivers more than words ever could — and keeps attention where PDFs can’t.
5× Higher Engagement
Video boosts click-through and retention across institutional and social platforms.
Stronger Comprehension
Motion graphics, captions, and narration turn complex concepts into simple, memorable visuals.
Accessible & Inclusive
Subtitled, narrated, and formatted for screen readers — reaching multilingual and hearing-impaired audiences.
SEO & Discoverability
Indexed titles, captions, and DOIs make your work findable on Google, YouTube, and repositories.
