In short
A long video or podcast holds more ideas than one carousel needs, which is good news: one episode can become several carousels. carouselgen works from text, so the first step is a transcript.
Steps
Get the transcript
Many video and podcast platforms offer one, and many recording and editing tools make one. Save it as a .txt or .docx file. A text file may be up to 1 MB.
Attach it and name the part
"Only the part about hiring" keeps the carousel to one idea. A whole hour in one carousel reads like a table of contents.
Add a photo of the speaker
If you may use one, attach it as an image and ask for it beside a quote.
Check the quotes
Quotes should match the transcript word for word. Fix any that drifted by retyping them on the slide.
One episode, several carousels
- One carousel per lesson or question in the episode.
- Make the first one, then use it as a template so the series looks the same.
- Link the full episode in the post text, not on the slides.
Limits
- Up to 10 files per carousel, 20 MB together.
- All text and Word files together may hold about 200,000 characters. By our rough estimate that is around three hours of talk, so most transcripts fit whole.
Questions
Can I upload the MP4 or MP3?
No. carouselgen takes PDF, images, text, Markdown, CSV and Word files. Turn the recording into a transcript first.
Does it work for a webinar?
Yes, the same way. If the webinar had slides, attach them as a PDF too, so the designer sees the charts.
My auto-generated transcript has mistakes. Is that a problem?
The designer works with what it reads. Fix names and numbers in the transcript first, or on the slides afterwards.
