AI Summary
Summary: Converting Instructional Videos to Documentation
- Introduction
- Sharing the process of converting instructional videos into detailed documentation.
- Mention of Loom’s AI SOP feature and other similar tools.
- Personal automation script available upon request.
- Background
- Creator of AI automation videos with step-by-step builds.
- Aim to create written step-by-step documentation for videos.

- Upload the video to Google Drive and link it in the AI Studio.
- Run the model to extract information and generate a guide.
- Technical Details
- Google breaks down the video into frames (approx. one frame per second).
- There’s a limit to video length due to token usage in the context window.
- Adjustments can be made for longer videos by reducing frame rate.
- Automation Script
- Automatically downloads YouTube videos or links to existing files.
- Extracts frames and includes them in the documentation for a higher quality guide.
- Future goal: Interactive guides with clickable images linking to video segments.
- Conclusion
- The manual process is a timesaver, providing a starting point for written guides.
- Minor edits are needed after AI generation to finalize the documentation.
- The creator also offers an AI automation service and welcomes questions and feedback.
