I'm trying to work in a carrousel automation that a designer requested for me but got stuck in a stage. He makes the whole thing in a strip horizontal 1200x[number of slides]. Does anyone know of an API that can split the image every 1200px? Or if there is a function like that in Placid?

Hey all! I’m looking for feedback on a carousel I spent way too much time on 🫠 A common problem I’ve seen with videos my client shot - that I am now editing, is that they shoot in full auto mode instead of controlling the settings manually. I wanted to create something I could send to them to help. (I’ve tried offering a free 30 minute zoom call to walk through it and help but they’re always too busy) So long story short I wanted to make something I could post on social media and also share with them. Is this helpful to you? Does it make sense? Anything else I can do to add value? P.S May 30th 📣 I’m hosting a Zoom call to go over how I organize my projects and my workflow from first thought to publish. More details coming soon

Planning can be a powerful thing, sometimes. But it can also be a waste of time. Planning can also become overwhelming as well if you're stuck in planning mode. Sometimes we lack the experience to build detailed plans to achieve large goals. So if we try, that can lead us to spin our wheels and go down useless rabbit holes and todo list building. Or scanning the internet for the perfect plan. When is a plan a good thing? Well consider this, I could pretty easily give you a plan to get on video, or scale your content to 100+ pieces of content per week. It would be very detailed and would lead you right to where you need to be very quickly. A good physical trainer could give you a plan to get healthy in 90 days. Step-by-step. Those plans (if you wanted those things) would be pretty powerful and useful. Experts know all the little step you need to get there—and they can lay them out for you. But when you try and create those complex plans on your own without the experience—it's a waste of time. The better approach is to make a goal. And then to identify the next biggest roadblock in your way to achieve that goal. You don't even need to identify all the steps to the goal. Having a loose idea of the steps to that goal isn't a bad thing—but that list might change after you get over the first hump. All your planning needs to consist of each day (or the night before) is what are the 1 or 2 things I need to do today (or tomorrow) to I solve that next biggest challenge in front me. Keep your head down in that mode and devote all your energy to the challenge, not building todo lists. Imagine the clarity and focus you could give that challenge if you TAKE BACK all that mental energy from building all those lists and plans to get where you want to be. Food for thought.

I hope that grabbed your attention :) Not trying to spam this community btw. I just thought it would be a valuable resource for some people here. Please let me know what you struggle with. I'll reply ASAP!

Hi everyone, I'm new to both Airtable and Make.com, and I'm interested in creating a service similar to AutoShorts.ai to automate the generation and distribution of short video content. This sounds very challenging to do on my own. Firstly, is this possible or smart to create autoshorts' functions with these tools? If so, any advice on how to start building it to get the ball rolling would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
