Slideshow to video?

[tomByrer]

I want a 'clickable' slideshow that I can also render to video as backup/ posting to socialal.

How do I add video rendering to the "slideshow" template please?

The /slideshow workflow (interactive, navigable deck — clickable, presenter mode, hotspot navigation) and video rendering are actually two different output shapes, which is probably what's tripping this up: the slideshow template's whole point is a browsable deck, not a rendered MP4.

To get an actual video out, you want the composition itself rather than the slideshow wrapper: each slide becomes a timed section (class="clip" data-start="X" data-duration="Y"), and a single paused GSAP timeline drives the reveal/crossfade between them — visibility is keyed off data-start, not the class. That's a normal composition and goes through the regular render pipeline like anything else.

Concretely: reuse your slide content, but author it as a composition alongside (or instead of) the slideshow — a title-card-style reveal per slide, then a crossfade block between each pair. That's exactly the scene-to-scene crossfade pattern — I wrote it up in more depth (plus the data-start/seekable timing contract that makes it render-safe) here if useful: https://sidheart.gumroad.com/l/lyudd

Happy to sketch out the actual timeline for your specific slide count if you want to post how many slides / what transitions you're going for.
