Md2video-audio
Overview
md2video-audio converts a Markdown document into a narrated MP4 video by transforming the source into synchronized presentation visuals and spoken narration.
The workflow preserves the original file and generates separate presentation, narration, and video outputs.

When to Use This Skill
- Use when converting Markdown tutorials, reports, or presentations into narrated videos.
- Use when creating presentation-style videos.
- Use when the user asks for Markdown-to-video, narrated slides, or audio-video generation.
How It Works
Step 1: Check Environment
Verify required local dependencies before running the workflow. Do not install, remove, or modify dependencies without user confirmation.
Step 2: Prepare the Markdown
Keep the original file unchanged.
Create a new Markdown file with improved sectioning, formatting, and natural transitions while preserving the original meaning.
Step 3: Generate Presentation Markdown
Convert the prepared document into Marp-compatible slides.
- Separate slides with
---. - Prevent content overflow.
- Split oversized tables, code blocks, or sections when necessary.
- Ask the user to choose a Marp style when required.
Step 4: Generate Narration
Create a narration Markdown file aligned one-to-one with the presentation slides.
Remove visual-only characters that should not be spoken and verify that slide separators remain synchronized.
Step 5: Generate Video
Run the provided video-generation script with the presentation and narration files:
python ai-2md2marp2av.py presentation.md narration.md
The script renders Marp slides, generates speech with Edge-TTS, and combines them into an MP4 video.
Ask the user to complete any interactive input required by the script.
Step 6: Fallback
If the primary workflow fails, try the included fallback scripts in order:
python md2marp2av.py
Then:
python md2video.py
Examples
Example 1: Convert a Tutorial
/md2video-audio tutorial.md
Produces presentation Markdown, narration Markdown, and a narrated MP4 video.
Example 2: Convert a Work Report
/md2video-audio project-review.md
Use the generated slides and narration to create a presentation-style report video.
Best Practices
- ✅ Preserve the original Markdown file.
- ✅ Keep presentation and narration slide counts synchronized.
- ✅ Split slides that exceed safe layout limits.
- ✅ Confirm before installing dependencies or running interactive actions.
- ❌ Do not overwrite the source document.
- ❌ Do not silently install, remove, or modify system dependencies.
Limitations
- Requires the local runtime and dependencies used by the included scripts.
- Complex Markdown layouts may require manual adjustment.
- Edge-TTS availability depends on the local network and runtime environment.
- Stop and ask for clarification when required files, permissions, or user choices are missing.
Security & Safety Notes
- Run scripts only in a local or authorized environment.
- Confirm with the user before installing dependencies or making environment changes.
- Generated files should be written as new files rather than replacing source content.
- Do not execute interactive or destructive commands without explicit user confirmation.
Common Pitfalls
- Problem: Presentation and narration contain different slide counts.
Solution: Verify the number of
---separators and realign the narration. - Problem: Slide content overflows the Marp layout. Solution: Split the content into smaller logical sections before rendering.
- Problem: Video generation fails because dependencies are unavailable. Solution: Verify the environment first, then use the fallback scripts if appropriate.
