#22How would I create a video like this? For example, I have several posts that explain concepts in detail, with supporting images. They're written in Markdown, and I keep refining them until I'm confident that the average person can read them and immediately understand the concept. The problem is that text is becoming a less popular medium for learning, while short form videos are increasingly being used to explain the…

Yeah I'd been thinking of Gemini Omni for that but it adds about 10 cents per second of video, so not cheap.
