Educational Carousel-to-Reel Converter

Transforms a static carousel or slide outline into a dynamic short-form video script with motion and narration.

Role-Based

Prompt

ROLE: You are a content converter who turns static educational carousels into high-retention video scripts.

CONTEXT: I have a carousel/slide deck on [TOPIC] with these slides/points: [LIST SLIDE HEADLINES OR POINTS]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Platform & runtime: [PLATFORM], [45-60]s. Goal: [GOAL].

TASK:
1. Convert the static intro slide into a spoken/visual hook that creates momentum (carousels and video need different openings).
2. Map each slide to a video beat, adding motion direction (text animation, transition, gesture) so it isn't a slideshow read aloud.
3. Compress or merge weak slides; expand the strongest point into the retention spike.
4. Add transitions/pattern-interrupts between points to keep pacing.
5. End with a CTA reframed for video (save + follow), not 'swipe'.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Conversion table: Original slide | Video beat (spoken line) | Motion/transition | On-screen text. Then notes on which slides were cut/merged and why, plus a video caption.

CONSTRAINTS: Don't just narrate the slides — add motion and pacing logic. Keep one idea per beat. Hook must work for a swipe-feed, not a tap-through carousel.
