Once CreateWebinar has generated your webinar, the slides, sign-up page and thank-you page are ready to go. Even so, there’s nearly always one slide you’d phrase differently, a photo that would fit better or a colour that belongs to your brand. That’s what the built-in webinar slide editor and page editor are for. This article walks through what each one does and how to get the most out of them without spending your whole afternoon.
Where the editors fit in
After your webinar is generated, you work through seven fine-tuning stations in order:
- Slides
- Host & voice
- Sign-up page
- Dates
- Stage
- Email sequence
- Go online
The slide editor belongs to the first station and the page editor to the third. At each station you only change what you want to be different. If you’re happy, move on. For how the webinar is created in the first place, see from product link to finished webinar.
What the slide editor can do
In the slide editor you work on one slide at a time. The tools will feel familiar if you’ve used presentation software:
- format text
- add shapes and lines
- insert icons
- use your own images
- add stock photos from Pixabay, with attribution
- generate AI images on request
For the overall look there are ten slide designs. A design always applies to every slide, so try two or three before you polish individual slides. Otherwise you may end up tweaking details that look different after a design change anyway.
One practical note: slide work is far more comfortable on a computer with a decent screen than on a phone.
Host script and voice-over
Every slide has a host script, the words the voice speaks while that slide is on screen. If you change the script, that slide needs to be voiced again.
That’s quicker than it sounds. When you re-voice, CreateWebinar skips every slide whose script and voice haven’t changed. So the sensible order is to edit all the scripts first and then voice once. Host, voice and slides in CreateWebinar explains how the pieces fit together.
A rule of thumb for splitting content: put on the slide what guests should see and remember, and put in the script what they should hear and understand. Three short points on screen with a couple of spoken sentences each usually work better than a dense block of text.
Three ways to get the right image
When your webinar is generated, some slides already get an AI image without text or logos. In the editor you have three ways to add or replace images.
Your own images are often the strongest choice, especially on the offer slide. A photo of your actual product, your workspace or yourself is more convincing than any generic scene.
Pixabay stock photos can be searched right in the editor, and the attribution comes with them. Leave it in place.
AI images on request help when a specific scene is missing. We don’t set a limit on them. They run through your own AI account with OpenRouter and are billed there based on usage. With an Anthropic account there are no AI images, so you’d use stock photos and your own pictures instead. Describe the scene rather than any wording, because text belongs on the slide, not inside the picture.
Wherever the image comes from, look at each slide at roughly phone size. Plenty of guests watch on a phone, and anything they can’t read there isn’t doing its job. The article on webinar slides that work on a phone has more on this.
A worked example
Say you sell an online course on home baking, and CreateWebinar has generated a medium-length webinar for you. Clicking through, you notice three things.
Slide 6 lists seven common mistakes with sourdough. That’s too much for one slide, so you cut it to the three that matter most and move the other four into a sentence in the host script.
On the offer slide, the AI image shows a loaf on a generic kitchen counter. You swap it for a screenshot from your course, because guests want to see what they’re buying.
The headline on slide 2 feels a bit too salesy. You make it plainer and adjust the first sentence of the script to match.
Then you voice once. Only slides 2 and 6 are spoken again, and everything else stays as it was. The new image on the offer slide doesn’t affect the audio at all.
The page editor for sign-up and thank-you pages
Your sign-up page and thank-you page have their own page editor. You start from a template and rearrange the page with building blocks. You choose the accent colour freely, and the text colours adjust automatically so everything stays readable on light and dark backgrounds.
A few changes that are almost always worth making:
- Set the accent colour to your brand colour so the page matches the rest of your presence.
- Sharpen the headline so it states the benefit of the webinar in one sentence.
- Add a photo of yourself if you’re the person behind the offer.
- Use the thank-you page to tell guests clearly what happens next.
For what happens behind the sign-up form, from the form itself to double opt-in, see the sign-up pages and emails page and the article on sign-up pages and the email sequence.
When hands-on editing pays off
Not every slide needs your attention. The ones that usually do are where the most happens: the opening, the slide that names the core problem, the offer and the price. Transition slides often just need a quick look.
Check anything that contains facts, too. Prices, what’s included and dates have to be right. The AI doesn’t invent anything that isn’t on your page or in your answers, but if your offer has changed since the webinar was generated, update it in the editor.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to edit every slide?
No. The slides are finished once the webinar is generated. You only need the editor when you want to change something.
How many slide designs are there?
Ten. A design applies to all slides, so pick one before working on details.
Do I have to re-voice the whole webinar after changing some text?
No. When you re-voice, only slides whose script or voice has changed are spoken again.
Where do the stock photos come from?
From Pixabay. You search for them in the slide editor, and the attribution is included.
Can I choose any colour for my sign-up page?
Yes. The accent colour is up to you, and the text colours adjust automatically.
The AI hands you a complete webinar, and the editors give you the final say. For an overview of both, visit the slide and page editor page, and check pricing for the plans and what you need for AI images.
