video automation almost finished!
hey guys been working on a video automation inspired by long form success on YT -to crank out (hopefully) good quality content. Longform YT Creator Create fully automated, long-form YouTube bedtime story style videos (2-3 hours) from a single text prompt, handling everything from script generation to intro hook video 1min-30mins), then slideshow format for rest of video (10sec per image, can be changed) image overlays, Ken Burns Effect, final video rendering, thumbnail design without manual intervention.โ Core Workflow (docker install, standard pc works fine) The automation pulls themes from Google Sheets and generates complete videos through several AI-powered stages. (Add instructions and style reference) 1. Chapter Generation: Use your preferred LLM to generate your chapter titles. 2. Script Generation: Uses Gemini AI (free with credits) or Claude to create 40 chapter stories based on your theme, with customizable instructions and style references. The workflow generates comprehensive scripts that run 1.5 - 3 hours! when converted to audio. (eleven lab voices 98% cheaper!) 3. Video Generation: Intro video hook lasting 1 minute (cost $1.30) generated based on your script then transferring to slideshow format.(10 sec/ $0.15c, sora2, supports 1/10 minute intro hook, no hard time limit) 4. Image Creation: Generates 40 unique images using Pollinations AI (completely free) by creating prompts for each chapter, with 7-second delays between requests to respect rate limits. Images are created in a loop and saved to your local machine. Ken Burns panning effect on images to give the illusion of movement. 5. Audio Production: Converts the script to speech using Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API (or ElevenLab voices 98% Cheaper with genaipro.vn) with customizable voices, accents, and languages. The workflow splits text into chunks to work within API character limits and generates audio files for each segment.
