A Python application that automates the end-to-end creation of Reddit storytime videos for TikTok.
Handles everything from scraping Reddit posts to synthesizing voiceovers and assembling the final video.
- Scrapes the top daily post from the popular subreddit r/AmItheAsshole (AITA)
- Uses TikTok’s native Text-to-Speech (TTS) API to generate narrations
- Transcribes speech to timestamped subtitles using OpenAI’s Whisper
- Automatically overlays audio, subtitles, and gameplay background footage with MoviePy
- Supports customizable video backgrounds (e.g., Minecraft parkour, Subway Surfers)
All content is generated and compiled autonomously, making it easy to batch-create TikTok-ready videos.
