A short video about the Coffee Sniffers (a test video summary)
... so... I thought I'd try a little experiment with NotebookLM's video overview...
I created a Notebook and then gave it the text of my post answering the Coffee Sniffers question. (From July 30, 2025)
After pouring it in, I asked for it to make a Video Overview that would summarize my post. Here's the result:
This is the kind of video I've really wanted to make ever since this blog began. But as you know (and as I know all too well, having edited a LOT of videos over the years), making one of these video shorts takes a long, long time.
For those of you who've read the post, how does this compare with the text experience? Good? Better? Less satisfying? Did you take away anything new or more interesting from the video version?
I'm looking for feedback here. If you like it, I'll do more in future posts (and I'll talk about how much work this was--I admit to editing the raw video output from NotebookLM).
Let me know in the comments!
