A couple of weeks back I posted Matchbox Video (https://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/g8dqre/matchbox_video_the_easiest_way_to_convert_a/) which lets you convert a Google Slides presentation into a video with text to speech speaker notes. It works pretty well: you can see the sample video describing Matchbox Video built with Matchbox Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhFtECRqbS4.
Once we built it, though, we realized that the presentation creation workflow for screenshots was incredibly repetitive. We'd walk through an app or website, take a series of screenshots, and then start creating the slides. In Google Slides, this involves:
- Creating each slide
- Opening the upload dialog
- Uploading the specific file (ordered by date or file name)
- Positioning it on the page
All of which is incredibly tedious for large sequences, particularly for such a basic precursor step to actually creating a useful, informative presentation (we would still need to add text to each slide, highlight parts of the image, etc).
We built Screenshots as a simple tool to make the first step easy: you pick your images as a single step, we automatically sort them based on the name (you can adjust the sort manually if you'd like), pick a couple of simple options, and then either add them to an existing presentation or create a new one, and a couple of minutes later you have your presentation ready to go.
Feedback please!
Thanks.
