AI Shorts Generator is an innovative tool designed to create short videos. The tool utilizes scripts powered by GPT-4 and voices by either Elevenlabs' speech synthesis or OpenAI's text-to-speech. DALL-E 3 generates background images which are carefully assembled by OpenCV, culminating into a compelling short video or reel.
The tool offers an option to use open-source language models like Mistral-7b and open-source stable diffusion models, but this requires access to significant GPU resources.
This code is released under the MIT license, implying it's free to be used by anyone. Nevertheless, it comes with no warranties and is provided 'as is'. The responsibility for the content you generate using this software, including potential copyright issues, rests solely with you.
Getting started with AI Shorts Generator involves a few expenses, primarily for generating images via DALL-E 3. Anticipate spending approximately $0.10-0.45 in OpenAI credits per video.
You will initially need an OpenAI API key and an Elevenlabs key (which may not be immediately necessary, but will be after generating a few videos).
Here are the steps to install and use the AI Shorts Generator:
- Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/MainAIdk/AI-Shorts-Generator.git
- Navigate to the Directory
cd AI-Shorts-Generator
- Setup a Python Virtual Environment
python -m venv myvenv
- Activate the Environment
source myvenv/bin/activate
- Install Required Packages
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Set Environment Variables
Open .env copy, insert your API keys and rename to .env.
- Create GPT Input File
Create a file (e.g. source.txt) and provide a brief about your short video.
- Generate Your Short Video
python main.py source.txt
The script will generate your video. A successful operation should output:
