In this tutorial, you will use Google NotebookLM to create a presentation, then turn that presentation into a video using Google Vids.
Step 1. Create a New Notebook
Go to Google NotebookLM.
At the top left, click “Create new notebook”.
Now you need to add content. You have two options:
- Let Google’s AI find and pull in web sources automatically
- Upload your own sources (documents, PDFs, notes, links, etc.)
Tip: The better your sources, the better your final video will be.
Step 2. Generate Your Slide Deck
Once your notebook is ready, go to the top right and click “Slide Deck”.
Wait while the AI generates your presentation. This may take a moment.
After it finishes:
- Open the generated presentation
- Click the three dots (menu)
- Select “Download PowerPoint (.pptx).”
Tip: You can review and edit the slides later for improved quality.
Step 3. Upload to Google Drive
Go to: https://drive.google.com
Upload your downloaded PowerPoint file.
Open it using Google Slides.
(Optional but recommended)
- Clean up the slides
- Fix formatting
- Reduce text clutter
- Add images if needed
Step 4. Convert into a Video Using Google Vids
From your Slides file, choose the option to convert your presentation into a video. That will open up Google Vids.
Follow the instructions provided:
- Generate a script
- Add an AI voiceover
- Adjust pacing and timing
Tip: Review the script before generating voiceover. Small edits make a big difference.
Step 5. Review and Export
Play through your video.
Make sure:
- The voice sounds natural
- Timing matches the slides
- No awkward phrasing
Once you are happy:
- Go to “File”
- Export your video as MP4 or GIF
- Or upload directly to Google Drive or YouTube
Wrap Up
You now have a complete AI-generated video using Google NotebookLM + Google Vids.
The more you refine your sources, slides, and script, the better your final result will be.
