Introduction
Aside from books, most of my learning happens through youtube, but could not find a good workflow for taking notes from youtube. Most were eithier paid or lacking. After looking around for a few days I think a came up with a passable workflow. I am interested in what you think
The workflow
I dont take notes while wathining the video; I use this extension to bookmark points of interest.
Afterwards when i get free time to take notes, I open transcript of the video and copy paste the relevant section into obsidian with timestamps(you can automate some of this with templater)
Now i have a note with youtube video title with embedded iframe and relevanted parts with timestamps. Next I create atomic notes with block reference to each of these relavant timestamps
