🚀 Quick Start (Docker)

Prerequisites

• Docker with Compose v2+ (Get Docker)
• Google Cloud service account JSON file

1️⃣ Setup

git clone <repository-url>
cd Video-subtitle-Generator

# Create data directories
mkdir -p data/{input,output,config,logs,temp,jobs}

# Add your Google Cloud credentials
cp /path/to/your-service-account.json data/config/

2️⃣ Run

# Modern Docker Compose syntax (uses compose.yml)
docker compose run --rm subtitle-generator

# Or use convenience scripts
./docker-run.sh              # Linux/Mac
docker-run.bat               # Windows

3️⃣ Process Videos

# Copy videos to input
cp your-video.mp4 data/input/

# Process interactively (select option 1)
docker compose run --rm subtitle-generator

# Or process directly
docker compose run --rm subtitle-generator \
  python main.py --video /data/input/your-video.mp4 --languages eng,hin

🎯 Usage Examples

Interactive Mode (Recommended)

docker compose run --rm subtitle-generator
# Follow the menu prompts

Command Line Processing

# Single video with core + Indian languages
docker compose run --rm subtitle-generator \
  python main.py --video /data/input/movie.mp4 --languages eng,hin,ben,tel,tam

# Batch process all videos
docker compose run --rm subtitle-generator \
  python main.py --batch /data/input

# Generate accessibility subtitles (SDH)
docker compose run --rm subtitle-generator \
  python main.py --video /data/input/video.mp4 --languages eng --sdh
