How do I convert a YouTube video to Markdown for Notion?

After generating a summary from a YouTube link, click export to Markdown. You get a .md file with timestamped chapter headings that pastes or syncs into Notion, Obsidian, or Logseq.

What does the exported Markdown include?

A title, overview, timestamped chapter takeaways, keywords, action items, and the mindmap embedded as a Mermaid code block.

Will the Mermaid mindmap render in Notion / Obsidian?

Yes. It's written as a standard Mermaid code block, which Mermaid-capable editors (Obsidian, Logseq, and others) render directly; you can also export it as an .svg.

How do I turn a YouTube video into a second-brain note in Obsidian?

The exported Markdown has timestamped chapter headings, so dropped into an Obsidian vault it's a linked note; with keywords and a Mermaid mindmap, the video becomes a knowledge card in your second brain — Logseq and Notion work the same way.

Can videos without captions still be converted to Markdown?

Yes. The system transcribes the audio to understand the content and doesn't rely on built-in captions, so raw videos convert to structured Markdown too.

Can an English video export Markdown in another language?

Yes. Output is generated in your chosen language, so an English video can export Markdown notes in the language you pick.

How long does a long video take?

It depends on audio length and queue load; two-hour content usually lands in the tens-of-minutes range, with stage progress shown on the page.
