Make compilation videos for Reddit with one command.

Reddit Compilation Maker

What does it do?

Something stupid.

Generate compilation videos of your favourite subreddit. Youtube has now been overrun by compilation videos lifted off from Reddit, which has been lifted of from somewhere else.

I wanted to make this process a bit simpler. So I made this tool.

Specify a subreddit and get a readymade compilation video as the output. Its functionalities are limited at the time of making the README.md, which I plan to expand soon.

How to run it?

Create a .env file based on the .ex-env.

cp .ex-env .env

Generate an app in Reddit from where you can get the values for client_id and client_secret. Fill these values in the .env file. Activate the .env file by running

source .env

Now run it with the command

python3 movie.py

P.S
I first tried to create the program with ffmpeg run through subprocess in Python but it really didn't make sense after a while, so I ditched it. I thought I should maintain it since it was educational, it is available in the start.py file.
