Automatically generate reddit youtube videos!

Revvid

You've probably seen a bunch of /r/AskReddit narration style videos by now. So I randomly thought to start working on a program to automate the creation of them. Its still a work in progress, but the current state of the project allows it to:

• Take screenshots of top level comments of a thread using selenium.
• Generate audio using the epic Daniel voice for each comment.
• Have looping background music.
• Composite all of the above into a cool video. Heres a sample.
• Output high quality content

Todo:

• Add customisability since things like the outro, subreddit and comment limit are currently hardcoded.
• Ability to curate your own comments/support for replies.
• Turn it into a CLI tool

Please feel free to make a PR with improvements :)

Installation

Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/kyb3r/revvid
$ cd revvid

Install dependancies

$ pipenv install

Create a .env file with your reddit client id and secret.

CLIENT_ID=xxxxxx
CLIENT_SECRET=xxxxxxx

Finally run the app via

pipenv run python3 app.py

Usage

Note: This only works on mac since pyttsx3 supports saving audio files only on mac (pyttsx3#30). If theres a better way to get tts audio files cross platform, please make a PR :)

You can either run the app by itself to get an interactive interface or supply a command line argument for the id of the specific submission you want to fetch screenshots from.

e.g.

python3 app.py bw8gyr
