Welcome to WikiProject VideoWiki. We are a group of Wikivoyagers interested in working on collaboratively created videos, with the goal of bringing multimedia video summaries to Wikivoyage. While the ideas date back to before Wikimania in South Africa in 2018, this WikiProject was born in 2019. The VideoWiki tool auto-generates videos based on wiki-scripts. A detailed description of the project can be found at the Meta page.

How to create a VideoWiki script
A VideoWiki script looks very much like a conventional Wikivoyage article. Each section has the usual descriptive header, followed by a modest amount of text and a link to a Commons media item (image or video clip).

Every section corresponds to one segment of the generated video: the body text below the header is "spoken" by a voice synthesizer while the media item is displayed. The video generator seamlessly stitches together the segments to produce the final product. The resulting video has a slideshow-like appearance when playing segments that have still images, and a more dynamic look when playing segments that have video clips.

Procedure

 * 1) Create a new script page as a subpage of Wikivoyage:VideoWiki. For example, if the topic is "ears", create a page at
 * 2) Add to the top of the new script page:
 * 3) If the script is derived from an existing article, copy and paste the introductory section from the article and note this in the edit summary. For example:
 * 4) Click Publish to create the new script page, and then Edit to resume editing
 * 5) Split the script into short sections and give each section a unique, descriptive header such as
 * 6) At the bottom of each section, add a link for the image or video that is to be displayed, followed by . For example:
 * Ear.jpg
 * 1) The script will now look something like this:
 * {{pre2| {{videowiki}}
 * 1) At the bottom of each section, add a link for the image or video that is to be displayed, followed by . For example:
 * Ear.jpg
 * 1) The script will now look something like this:
 * {{pre2| {{videowiki}}

Introduction
The ear is the organ of hearing and, in mammals, balance.

Ear wax

}}
 * 1) Click Publish to save the script
 * 2) Hit UPDATE to upload to Commons
 * 3) Add the video to article pages as appropriate (we suggest under the introduction). For example:
 * Wikipedia-VideoWiki-Ears.webm)]]

Additional functionality

 * Custom audio track. You may create your own audio and use it in the generated video in lieu of automatically-generated, synthesized voice. To do this, use ReadShow.
 * Subtitles. A subtitle is automatically created for each video segment, consisting of the body text in the associated script section. You may modify subtitles by editing the auto-generated .SRT (SubRip format) file.

Sandbox
You can experiment with the tool in the VideoWiki/Sandbox.
