videoAutoProduction

A simple program to automate production of news videos for a youtube channel written in python and bash

The code that I have written is for a specific topic, website and video. So keep that in mind if you are using it and make changes likewise.

Requirements

1. ffmpeg
2. moviepy
3. beautifulsoup
4. urlib.request
5. wget
6. nltk
7. request
8. xml.dom.minidom.parseString
9. gcp's texttospeech API

Setup

Run these commands one by one to setup the program in a file structure that is required by the code to run.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/sr1jan/videoAutoProduction
mkdir videoAuto
cd videoAuto
mkdir News scripts
mv ../videoAutoProduction/* ./scripts/
rm -rf ~/videoAutoProduction
cd scripts

Make sure you have all the requirements and also you have to tinker the code a little bit to make it work locally and for your purpose.

Things you need to do:

• Change /home/sr1 in the codebase to home/<yourUserName> everywhere.
• Have to get your API key from smmry.com and save it in a yaml file. Then access that key in the scrapArticles.py file.Refer the code to understand.
• Also you have to setup and configure your account on Google cloud platform and get the texttospeech API to work in your machine.
• will add more once I come across more edge cases

You can execute the program by running the autoVideo.sh script.
