When breaking news drops, the first publishers on short-form usually capture the topical traffic. Five minutes is the realistic budget between source and posted video — anything slower and the algorithmic boost decays.
The fast path
Paste the press release URL or text into the Avatar Studio. It produces a script with an editable hook and 2–3 facts. Approve, render with your channel's avatar or voice, publish. End-to-end takes ~3 minutes on the voice-only path.
Keep one render preset
Pre-pick the presenter, voice, caption style and aspect ratio so the only decision left at publish time is the script wording. Decision fatigue is the slowest part of breaking news, not rendering.
Editorial guardrails
Speed without QA produces corrections. The email approval step is the place to verify the fact you are amplifying — one approver, one read, one click. FeedReels never posts without the approval gate.
What stays manual
Sourcing, fact-checking and the editorial angle. Automation handles every step after the words are right.
