Node.js YouTube Shorts Video Automation Project

You can check the article I wrote on Medium about this project here: article

This Node.js project aims to automate the creation of YouTube Shorts videos by utilizing various AI and video editing tools. The process involves the generation of a script, voice creation, video editing, subtitle generation, and SEO-friendly description generation. Here's an overview of each step:

Project Overview

1. Script Generation using ChatGPT-4

• We use ChatGPT-4, a powerful natural language generation model, to create a script for the YouTube Short video. This script serves as the foundation for the video's content.

2. Voice Creation with Google Cloud Text-to-Speech

• The script is then transformed into an engaging narration using Google Cloud Text-to-Speech. This step converts the text script into a lifelike voice, adding a human touch to the video.

3. Video Editing using Node.js and FFmpeg

• Node.js and FFmpeg are employed to edit and assemble the video. This includes adding visuals, transitions, and incorporating the generated voiceover to create an engaging YouTube Short video.

4. Subtitle Generation with CapCut

• Subtitles are an essential part of YouTube Shorts. We use CapCut to generate and add subtitles to the video, making it more accessible and engaging for a broader audience.

5. SEO-Friendly Description Generation using ChatGPT-4

• To maximize the video's discoverability, we utilize ChatGPT-4 to generate an SEO-friendly description for the video. This description is optimized for search engines and helps improve the video's ranking on YouTube.
