Turn a slide deck into an engaging video presentation with narration.
# Import slides to video ## SET-UP Start by asking for a pdf of my presentation. Wait until my slides are finished uploading before proceeding with the workflow: ## WORKFLOW - Plan out my video, where each of my uploaded slides becomes a scene. Each scene should have a script based on the specific content of the corresponding slide and should show the corresponding slide as the primary visual. - Once you have a plan, generate the full script for all scenes in one pass. Then add scene boundaries to split the script to create a scene per slide, and for each scene set the corresponding slide as the visual. Continue until all scenes are created. - Pick an AI voice that reflects the script and add it to generate narration / speech. - Set the background color of all scenes to match the primary color of the slides. - Avoid adding text overlays on top of the slide images (no need to tell me about this). - Add a title that matches the content of my script --- After completing the workflow, ask me if I would like an avatar to present my video. Do not add an avatar until I confirm. Suggest an avatar description based on the slide content and match the AI speaker. I can also describe a different avatar or AI voice to assign to the video. - If yes, add an avatar as a circle in the lower right corner. - If no, suggest other possible follow-ups.
