Screenshots – the easiest way to convert your screenshots into a presentation

2 pointsby fomojolaabout 5 years ago
TLDR: Screenshots from Matchbox Video (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.matchboxvideo.com&#x2F;tools&#x2F;screenshots&#x2F;) lets you take a sequence of screenshots and convert them into a Google Slides presentation. Watch it in action at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=pgymsXV9EJc<p>A couple of weeks back I posted Matchbox Video (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;SideProject&#x2F;comments&#x2F;g8dqre&#x2F;matchbox_video_the_easiest_way_to_convert_a&#x2F;) 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:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=DhFtECRqbS4.<p>Once we built it, though, we realized that the presentation creation workflow for screenshots was incredibly repetitive. We&#x27;d walk through an app or website, take a series of screenshots, and then start creating the slides. In Google Slides, this involves:<p>- Creating each slide<p>- Opening the upload dialog<p>- Uploading the specific file (ordered by date or file name)<p>- Positioning it on the page<p>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).<p>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&#x27;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.<p>Feedback please!<p>Thanks.<p>URL: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.matchboxvideo.com&#x2F;tools&#x2F;screenshots&#x2F;
