That video has great ideas; LinkedIn wants them in slides people can swipe. Instead of rewatching and rewriting from scratch, Gamma turns your YouTube video into a vertical LinkedIn carousel in minutes, pulling the best points into punchy, scroll-stopping slides. Bring the transcript or recap of the video, or paste the text, and let Gamma's AI agent handle the reshaping.
A YouTube video and a LinkedIn carousel reach people in completely different ways. One is a lean-back watch; the other is a quick swipe in a busy feed. The insight transfers, but the format has to change entirely: vertical slides, tight copy, one idea per card. Gamma's AI agent reads the transcript, checks the angle you're pushing and who you're reaching, and reshapes your video into a carousel built to stop the scroll.
A video unfolds over minutes; a carousel has seconds to hook someone mid-scroll. A good LinkedIn carousel from your video:
Opens with a hook slide that stops the scroll
Puts one idea on each card so people keep swiping
Uses short, punchy copy built for mobile reading
Ends with a clear takeaway or call to action
The goal is to repackage your video's best insights into vertical slides made for the feed.
For a video, you typically bring the transcript or recap text. Grab the YouTube transcript, then upload it, paste it, or connect the tool where you saved it, Notion, your drive. Gamma reads the full thing and pulls out the quotable points, the frameworks, and the takeaways worth a slide.
The agent asks what angle you want to lead with and who you're trying to reach, then reshapes the video into carousel cards: a hook, a sequence of one-idea slides, and a closing call to action. The long watch becomes a swipeable sequence.
Instead of a landscape deck, you get vertical slides built for LinkedIn, bold text, clean visuals, and consistent styling that reads well on a phone. Your video's ideas become a carousel that looks native to the feed.
Have the video transcript or a recap ready. YouTube provides transcripts you can copy, and that text is all Gamma needs to work from.
Head to gamma.app and start from the prompt box. Upload the transcript, connect your source, or paste the text, then ask for what you need, for example, "Turn this video transcript into an 8-card vertical LinkedIn carousel with a strong hook."
A typical video-to-carousel flow looks like:
Hook slide, the bold opening promise
The problem or context
First key point
Second key point
Third key point (and so on)
The big takeaway
Call to action and your handle
Adjust so your sharpest point sits early where swipers will see it.
Gamma builds a complete, formatted vertical carousel from your transcript in a minute or so.
Tighten the copy on each card, shorter is better on mobile, and make sure the hook earns the first swipe. Gamma handles the layout, but when you want an image or logo in a precise spot, switch to freeform editing and place it. Or use AI editing: click the element and describe the change. Keep the styling consistent card to card.
Export the carousel to PDF, the format LinkedIn uses for document posts, with formatting intact, or share a web link. Post it to your feed and watch the swipes come in.
A single video holds enough ideas for far more than one carousel, and Gamma helps you mine it. From the same transcript, ask the agent to build several carousels, each built around a different key point, so one recording fuels a week of posts. You can also reshape the video into other formats: a written article for your blog, a short summary for a newsletter, or vertical slides for other platforms. Because every version starts from the same transcript, your core message stays consistent across the series while each piece is sized for where it lives. Instead of a video that gets one upload and fades, you get a steady stream of content that keeps the ideas circulating long after the original went live.
Gamma vs. Canva
Speed: Designing each card by hand takes real time; Gamma drafts the full carousel in minutes
Content: Canva starts from a blank template; Gamma starts from your video's actual points
Consistency: Manual design risks drift card to card; Gamma keeps styling uniform
The honest take: Canva gives you a huge template library and total design control, which is great if you love crafting each card. If you'd rather start from a carousel already built on your video's content, Gamma gets you to a polished draft faster, and you can export to PDF for LinkedIn either way.
Nail the first card. The hook decides whether anyone swipes at all.
One idea per card. Crowded slides kill the swipe rhythm.
Write for thumbs. Short lines, big text, mobile-first.
Keep it consistent. Uniform styling signals quality across the set.
End with an ask. Tell readers to follow, comment, or check the full video.
No. For a video, you typically bring the transcript, grab the YouTube transcript, then upload or paste the text for Gamma to work from.
Export your carousel to PDF, which is what LinkedIn uses for swipeable document posts. Gamma keeps your formatting intact in the export.
Most carousels land in 6-10 cards, enough to deliver real value without losing people before the end. Lead with your strongest point.
Yes. Set your colors and fonts, or build from a template, and Gamma keeps the styling consistent across every card.
Your video already did the hard thinking, it just needs a format built for the feed. Let Gamma's agent reshape the transcript into a vertical carousel that stops the scroll and earns the swipe. Give Gamma the transcript, sharpen the hook, and post a carousel that works as hard as your video did.
