Youtube-Video-Generator-Bot (Formerly Named Video-Audio-Combiner)

[Last Updated August 27, 2023]

Over the past year I've seen many different channels on youtube upload simple shorts form videos that involved telling a story (often using text-to-speech bots) paired with background footage (usually a video game like Minecraft or Rocket League). I figured I could build a program to fully automate this process and allow users to grow a channel completely autonomously.
