Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• ffmpeg (for video/audio processing)
• ImageMagick (required by moviepy for text rendering)
• Tkinter (for the GUI; usually included with Python)
• Homebrew (for macOS users, to install ffmpeg and ImageMagick easily)

Install system dependencies (macOS)

brew install ffmpeg imagemagick

Tkinter is included with most Python installations. If you get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter', install it with:

brew install python-tk

or on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

(Optional) Use a Virtual Environment

It's recommended to use a Python virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts.

For macOS

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

For Windows

python -m venv venv
source venv\Scripts\activate

---

Install Python dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

API Keys

You will need API keys for:

• OpenAI (for script/story generation)
• AssemblyAI (for audio transcription/captioning)

Add your API keys:
You can enter your API keys in the GUI under the "API Keys" section, or edit the main file (main.py) to include your API keys where needed.

---

Usage

Run the main script:

For Windows

python main.py

For macOS

python3 main.py

You will be prompted to provide a script or an idea for the video. The tool will generate narration, captions, and a video based on your input.
