Faceless YouTube Doodle Image Set from a Timestamped Transcript
Turn a timestamped script into consistent MS Paint-style image prompts, sortable timestamp filenames, and an ffmpeg draft-video file.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Creating lots of images for a video can be tedious if you're doing it manually. There are a few approaches — you could transcribe the script and then generate images, or use existing image tools. The challenge is getting them to match a consistent style and making sure they're labeled properly for video editing. You'd probably want to transcribe your script first, identify key moments, then generate one image per section. I could help you set up a workflow that automates the labeling based on timestamps. What format is your script in right now?
FACELESS YOUTUBE IMAGE BATCH WORKFLOW STEP 1: TRANSCRIPTION + TIMESTAMPS Input: 3-min voiceover (180 seconds) Tool: Turboscribe (or similar) Output: Transcript with every 6-second interval marked (0.00, 0.06, 0.12... 3.00) Result: 30 timestamp anchors STEP 2: IMAGE PROMPT GENERATION For each 6-second block, extract 1-2 key concepts Example timestamps: 0.00-0.06: "why spreadsheets fail teams" 0.06-0.12: "hidden costs of manual data entry" 0.12-0.18: "collaboration breaks down" Generate 30 MS-Paint-style prompts (simple shapes, muted colors, minimalist) STEP 3: IMAGE GENERATION BATCH Prompt template: "MS-Paint doodle style, hand-drawn feel, pastel colors, simple shapes, no text, 800x600px" Generate all 30 via Hicksfield skill in Claude STEP 4: BATCH DOWNLOAD + FILENAME MAPPING Each image auto-names with its timestamp (0.00.png, 0.06.png, 0.12.png) Download to /video-assets/images/ STEP 5: VIDEO EDITING Drag all 30 images into timeline; Premiere reads filenames and auto-syncs to voiceover based on timestamp sort TIME SAVING: Manual workflow = 3 hours; this workflow = 20 minutes (batch generation).
About this skill
Paste a timestamped transcript and get every image your faceless video needs, in one consistent crude-doodle style, named so the edit assembles itself.
What it does
- Parses bracketed, clock, and SRT timestamps and computes how long each image holds
- Locks one style prompt so 100 images look like one video
- Picks one concrete visual per line and flags abstract lines for review
- Names files by index and timestamp so they sort and import in order
What you get
A style lock, a shot table with prompts and filenames, and an ffmpeg concat file plus command that renders a timed draft with your voiceover.
Best for
Faceless YouTube creators making stick-figure or doodle-style explainers who want visuals done in one pass.

description: Turn a timestamped voiceover transcript into a full set of crude, MS Paint-style doodle images for a faceless YouTube video - one locked style prompt, one visual idea per timestamp, sortable timestamp filenames, and a ready-made ffmpeg slideshow file so editing is a drag-and-drop pass. Use when the user says "make images for every timestamp in my script", "MS Paint style visuals for my faceless channel", "generate doodle images from this transcript", "one image every 7 seconds", "name the images by timestamp", or "turn my SRT into a shot list".
