NotebookLM Video Tips: Fewer Sources, Better Prompts, Treat It as a Screenwriter
TawohAwa · x · 2026-07-04
A core tip for generating videos with NotebookLM is to avoid piling on 10 sources; selecting just 1-2 high-quality materials yields much better results. Users should also provide precise directional guidance, such as "Explain this to a 12-year-old in 60 seconds with a strong hook in the first 3 seconds," treating the tool as a screenwriting assistant rather than a search engine. The more specific the topic, the better the generated output.
