Resources
A resource is a file you upload to your workspace so Skillsail can use it. Resources can be:- Documents — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDFs
- Images you want to attach to a slide as-is
- Videos you want to attach to a slide
- Audio files
Media on slides
A slide can carry several kinds of media:- An image — generated by Skillsail from a prompt, or uploaded by you.
- A short video clip — generated by Skillsail from a prompt, or uploaded by you.
- A voiceover — narration generated automatically from the slide’s text, or from a custom script you provide.
Image generation
Describe the image you want and Skillsail produces it for the slide. You can:- Generate a fresh image from a prompt.
- Edit an existing image — for example tighten the contrast, change the framing, or replace an element — by describing the change.
Video generation
Describe a short clip you want (a few seconds, up to about 30 seconds). Skillsail produces the clip and attaches it to the slide.Voiceover
You can add a narration audio track to a slide. By default the script is based on the slide’s text. You can also write a custom script if you want narration that differs from the on-screen text. Voiceover plays in the language the learner selected, where supported.Good practices
- For images, write prompts the way you would brief a designer: subject, context, mood, and any layout constraints (for example “wide” or “with space on the right for a caption”).
- For video, keep clips short and focused on one specific idea. Long-form video is usually better delivered as a separate uploaded file.
- For voiceover, write the slide text the way you want it read aloud. If the slide layout differs from the spoken narration, use a custom script.
- For uploaded documents, ask Skillsail to build the module first, then refine the result. Skillsail handles long source material better when you give it a clear instruction (“turn this into a 5-slide course with a 4-question quiz”).
