[GitHub - Quorafind/Obsidian-Canvas-Presentation at obsidian-roundup](https://github.com/Quorafind/Obsidian-Canvas-Presentation?ref=obsidian-roundup) is a promising plugin for content creation.

In the past I've tried [Excalidraw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBWMmdb3M3Q&&ref=bramadams.dev) and [Advanced Slides](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%5F2cte2kCBdw&ref=bramadams.dev) to make videos. Both felt pretty good, but they lacked the overall style I'm trying to achieve -- somewhere between [Fireship](https://www.youtube.com/@Fireship?ref=bramadams.dev) and [Isabel Paige](https://www.youtube.com/@isabel%5Fpaige?ref=bramadams.dev) visually, and [Marketing Monday](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntx%5F8%5FN6rUQ&list=PLrMS357ieiqSvFBzFAGsIE0uiopBxHI%5F-&index=9&&ref=bramadams.dev) style delivery.

I also like minimizing my time in the Final Cut Pro step, because every minute I spend video editing is a minute I don't spend coding or writing, and well, fuck that.

## Decomposition of the Video Styles Above

[Fireship](https://www.youtube.com/@Fireship?ref=bramadams.dev) :

- GIFs and b-roll with programming jokes overlaid
- code snippets

[Isabel Paige](https://www.youtube.com/@isabel%5Fpaige?ref=bramadams.dev):

- relaxing, high quality visuals, slow pace, calm atmosphere, good use of color grading

- consistently funny delivery
- each slide packed with information
- crowd work and engagement
- break out to improv and draw in real time

## Can Canvas Achieve These Elements?

- gifs ✅
- readable code snippets (maybe? if zoomed correctly)
- high quality b-roll (i don't see why not -- local file storage of giant videos would absolutely decimate GBs though)
- consistently funny delivery ✅
- each slide packed with information ✅
- break out to improv and draw in real time ✅

i'll have to sit on this. anything that keeps me out the video editor is a win, perhaps this could work.

**Tutorial on how to use the plugin:**

1. In canvas, select the card you want to use as the first slide
2. Open command palette and run `Canvas Presentation: Mark Slide Number`
3. A card will appear on your canvas that looks like this:

1. Repeat step 2 with other cards until your presentation is complete

**To run the presentation:**

1. Use `Next Slide` or `Previous slide` to see the next or previous slide
