OpenVideoGen

OpenVideoGen is an automated video generation tool built with Python 3.11. This project allows users to create videos from custom-formatted scripts, processing them into fully rendered video outputs.

Features

• Automated video generation from text scripts
• Custom scripting language for video creation
• Support for emotions and speech styles
• Integration of user-provided assets (e.g., scanned sketches)
• Flexible timing and duration controls

Requirements

• Python 3.11
• Windows 10 or Windows 11

Installation

To install OpenVideoGen, clone this repository and install the required dependencies:

git clone <url>
cd OpenVideoGen
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Create a script file (e.g., script.xml) using the custom formatting:

<video resolution="1080x1920">
    <background color="lightgrey"/>
    <emotion name="happy" duration="2"/>
    <espeech emotion="speaking_low" duration="auto">Hmm, let me think about that.</espeech>
    <textspeech duration="5">This is some text that will wrap.</textspeech>
    <emotion name="joy" duration="3"/>
    <end output="my_video.mp4" fps="30"/>
</video>

2. Run the OpenVideoGen script:

python openvideogen.py script.xml

3. The generated video will be saved in the output directory specified in your script file.

Script Tags

• <video resolution="1920x1080">: Root tag for the script file. Resolution may be specified (optional). Must be closed.
• <insert path="path/to/video.mp4"/>: Insert the specified sub-video into the video (not tested)
• <emotion name="happy" duration="2"/>: Displays the specified sprite for the specified duration.
• <espeech emotion="happy" duration="auto">: Applies TTS with specified sprite with specified duration (default "auto" or an integer). Must be closed.
• <textspeech duration="5">: Applies TTS while showing text on the screen. Duration is "auto" (default) or an integer. Must be closed.
• <end output="my_video.mp4" fps="30"/>: Ends the video, specifying output filename and FPS (both mandatory)
