Reddit-Shortform-Video-Generator

Reddit Shortform Video Generator is an automation tool that scrapes Reddit posts from subreddits like AITAH, processes the text content, and generates engaging short-form videos with AI-powered text-to-speech narration and synchronized subtitles. The platform supports multiple TTS engines including pyttsx3 and Google Cloud TTS, automatically captures comment screenshots using Playwright, and applies smart text cleaning with profanity filtering and abbreviation expansion. It solves the problem of manual video creation for content creators and marketing teams by fully automating the pipeline from Reddit data extraction through final video output. The tool is highly configurable via JSON settings, allowing users to customize subreddit selection, video dimensions, subtitle styling, and content filters. Built with Python, MoviePy, and PRAW, it's designed for social media marketers, content creators, and automation enthusiasts looking to repurpose Reddit stories into video content.

Clone the repository and install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt. Set up Reddit API credentials and optional TTS services (Google Cloud or AssemblyAI) in a .env file. Configure your scraping preferences in json/scraper_config.json to specify subreddit, filters, and video settings. Run python main.py to automatically fetch posts, generate audio, create screenshots, and output the final video to the data/video directory.
