download slideslive presentations (video + slides) + 🎉👍🙌👌✨👏SYNCED SLIDES VIDEO👏✨👌🙌👍🎉

what is it

I wanted to download ICLR 2020 videos, so I hacked this together. It should work for any presentation hosted on slideslive.com

how to use

I have some hardcoded values, change them as appropriate
I also download the main video directly from the webpage in browser by just finding the mp4 file in source.
and I use packages like progressbar2, opencv, and idk maybe some other stuff. Look at the source and install those packages.

e.g. Beyond “tabula rasa” in reinforcement learning: agents that remember, adapt, and generalize https://slideslive.com/38926829/beyond-tabula-rasa-in-reinforcement-learning-agents-that-remember-adapt-and-generalize

slide URL: https://d2ygwrecguqg66.cloudfront.net/data/presentations/38926829/slides/big/0-0001.jpg

slide XML: https://d2ygwrecguqg66.cloudfront.net/data/presentations/38926829/38926829.xml (contains sync times for slides)

download mp4 from page
find the slide URL from the page source
find the slide XML from the page source and download it. it contains sync times for slides
modify create-slide-urls.py with correct slide_count and url
run GO.sh
modify create-slide-video.py with correct XML file
run python3 create-slide-video.py to turn the slide images into a video that is synced with the main mp4
now you can use something like DaVinci Resolve video editor to place the videos side-by-side and render it out

done!
