Frequently Asked Questions about video-obsidian-save

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I archive video notes to Obsidian with an auto-index?

Archiving video notes to Obsidian requires frontmatter-enabled markdown produced by a prior translation workflow; this skill then stores the file in Clippings-Videos and updates Index.md to maintain a centralized course index.

How do I update the Obsidian Index.md automatically when saving markdown notes?

To update Index.md automatically, run the formatter script with your video directory and course name; it copies the markdown file to Clippings-Videos and appends the new course entry to the central index.

Do I need frontmatter in my markdown files to use this Obsidian note archiving workflow?

Yes, your markdown files must include frontmatter. The archiving workflow requires frontmatter-enabled markdown produced by a prior translation step before it can store the notes in the Obsidian vault.

Can I use this skill to index video transcripts and translations in Obsidian?

Yes, you can index video transcripts and translations by archiving the generated markdown into a Clippings-Videos course folder, which simultaneously updates the linked Index.md for centralized retrieval.

What is the best way to organize translated video transcripts in an Obsidian vault?

Organizing translated video transcripts in an Obsidian vault is best handled by archiving them into a Clippings-Videos course directory structure while maintaining a linked Index.md for centralized navigation and retrieval.

Why does my video note archiving workflow fail to update the Obsidian index?

Video note archiving may fail to update the Obsidian index if the preconditions are unmet; the translator must first produce frontmatter-enabled markdown before the formatter script can copy the file and update Index.md.
