MARCELO: an AI bot to automate the editing and thumbnail creation for your Youtube clips channel

This project uses machine learning (AI) to automate the management of your Youtube clips channel by clipping, editing, creating of thumbnails and uploading to your YT channel

Setup

  1. Download the latest version of youtubeuploader and extract the executable go file in the project's ./ folder
  2. Configure Youtube API v3 accordingly Youtube Uploader instructions
  3. Install python requirements
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Populate the folder ./backgrounds with images .png to be randomly selected to your thumbnail
  2. Leave a default_face.png on ./assets folder just in case the bot is not able to find a smiling face on your video

Usage

  1. Prepare a spreadsheet with the following fields (example ./list-sample.csv):
url time_from time_to podcast title description tags
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[VIDEO_ID] 00:00:14 00:01:46 0 TITLE DESCRIPTION tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[VIDEO_ID2] 0 TITLE DESCRIPTION tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4

  1. Download and cut: Download and cut the video if needed
  2. Editing: A bot will scan the entire video to find audio silences, to cut and edit the video automatically
  3. Thumbnail: A bot will use machine learning through Computer Vision to find smiling faces in the video, to extract samples and build an unique thumbnail for your channel
  4. Upload: Prepare the metadata and Upload the video to your Youtube channel
  5. Marcelo: is a tribute to Marcelo Rezende, a Brazilian journalist and television presenter who used to say 'Corta pra mim'
