Purpose

This project aims to streamline the video editing process for creating engaging TikTok/YouTube shorts. It combines Reddit posts, text-to-speech narration, subtitles, and gameplay footage to produce captivating content.

Scope and Future Features

The current scope is rather limited but I plan to expand this project and flesh it out. Here are some features that I plan on adding

• A bot that scrapes trendy reddit posts from popular subredits, takes a screenshot of the comment and copies the text that is to be turned into subtitles
• A seperate script that takes a gameplay video and a viral video, combines the 2 in a vertical manner and subtitles the clip
• An autonomous system that fully manages the process of scraping and uploading the product videos to a channel on various platforms

Sample

Assets Setup

1. Find a reddit post, copy the post and 1/2 or more comments into the file Assets/Texts/text.txt.

• IMPORTANT Seperate the comments and post by using the character |
• • Example: This is the text of the post | where this is the comment | and this is some other comment
• Take screenshots of the post and the comments to display them in the video.
• • IMPORTANT: The images are displayed in alphabetical order. Therefore make sure their order aligns with the order of the text you pasted
• Download a mp4 file of gameplay of your choice, place it inside of Assets/Videos/ and call the file min.mp4
