NotebookLM + Synthesia: How I Used Both To Create an AI Video Podcast!

[@aardvarkmindshank]

Really hoping Google enables this kind of functionality directly in Notebook LM because this workflow is a real pain in the ass.

[@EdTechHustle]

I 100% agree. They are definitively bringing controls to the podcast overview part. Not sure whether they’ll really lean into content creation with AI Avatars…but it would be incredible if they did

[@videologicfilms]

Maybe use descript for multucam editting?

[@marksimonian210]

Google's Illumintae brings transcript printing, giving options for length of podcast and a couple of other points that I wish NotebookLM will add. I have created a couple of educational podcasts with NotebokLM using Hedra for Avatar creation and can change the voice with ElevenLabs and even use my own cloned voice.

[@EdTechHustle]

That sounds awesome, I’ll have to check it out

Can I create podcast videos and publish them on KZbin and make profit from them?​@@EdTechHustle

[@richardschaeren6819]

no audio upload with synthesia starter plan, so please check out first which plan you need to pay. there is an alternative with heygen, where you can upload audio even with the free plan

Thanks, noted ✅️

[@ChildLike-ETi]

Great video,i learned all that I wanted to know. Thanks

[@g.mangabeira]

Nice work! I don't see the option to upload the audio file, though... am I missing something? Is that a paid feature?

[@EdTechHustle]

@@g.mangabeira it could be… try removing any text that you have in the dialogue box. I noticed it appears in an opaque font when the box is completely empty but disappears when you enter text

@@EdTechHustle Voiceover uploads seems to be ticked against the corporate plan only, which makes this video pretty infeasible for anyone without a corporate plan. I'm guessing you are sponsored on this product Ed?

[@Ed-ym4tu]

Your video editing looks top notch. On a scale from 1 to 10 on difficultly for a beginner at editing, where would you rate this? I've got the notebook and lip sync video down, but editing, not so much.

[@EdTechHustle]

Good question… probably a 6. Maybe a little challenging for beginners but not impossible. It might be a good idea to try just a single speaker to start. That won’t involve as much editing

[@dgpreston5593]

Still looking for a good speaker segmentation tool to add to the workflow.

Where can we see the final video you made with this?

@@EdTechHustle That is the same video but not the final result :-(

@@Der_Meikel My bad! This is the real video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIK8qH-AmLZnoac

HOW TO SET THE AVATAR TO TALK THEIR OWN PART ? THE MAN PART AND THE WOMAN PART BASED ON THE AUDIO ???

[@EdTechHustle]

Unfortunately you can’t do that yet on Synthesia. You have to have each avatar read both the male and female part and then edit it

[@okrent06524]

This video is useless for uploading the NotebookLM podcast without a paid subscription.
