Visuals

Creating visual medical videos in Ubuntu can be done using a combination of open-source tools for animation, drawing, and video editing. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Install Required Tools

Use these commands in Terminal:

sudo apt update sudo apt install blender krita inkscape kdenlive obs-studio gimp

Tools Overview:

Krita – Digital painting (supports frame-by-frame animation)

Inkscape – Vector illustrations (diagrams, anatomical sketches)

Blender – 3D modeling and animation (great for organ models)

Kdenlive – Video editing

OBS Studio – Screen recording or recording drawing process

GIMP – Image editing

  1. Plan Your Content

Break your medical topic into scenes:

Use storyboards (draw on paper or Krita).

Define what each scene will show (e.g., "tooth decay stages", "heart circulation").

  1. Create Visuals

Draw/Illustrate in Krita or Inkscape

Export images as PNG or SVG for use in videos.

Animate in Krita (simple 2D animation)

Use the timeline at the bottom to create frame-by-frame animations.

Use Blender for 3D (e.g., rotating skulls, organ walkthroughs)

  1. Record or Export Animations

Export from Krita as a video or PNG sequence.

Use OBS Studio to record your drawing process or voice narration.

  1. Edit & Assemble Video

Open Kdenlive:

Import animations, images, recordings.

Add background music, narration, transitions, and effects.

Export in MP4 or WebM formats.

  1. (Optional) Add Voiceover or Subtitles

Use Audacity to record/edit your narration.

Use Kdenlive’s subtitle feature to add captions for accessibility.

Bonus: Use AI for Assistance

Use TTS (text-to-speech) to narrate automatically.

Use tools like D-ID (web-based) or OpenToonz for advanced animation if you have Wine or Wine alternatives.
