⚙️ Setup

1. Clone or Download the Repository

git clone https://github.com/AmiXDme/AI-Shorts-Creator.git
cd AI-Shorts-Creator

2. Create a Virtual Environment

• Windows:

  python -m venv venv

• Mac/Linux:

  python3 -m venv venv

3. Activate the Virtual Environment

• Windows:

  venv\Scripts\activate

• Mac/Linux:

  source venv/bin/activate

4. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Prepare Input Files

• Create a video/ directory in the root of the project.
• Place your video file inside video/ and name it input_video.mp4.
• Place the transcript file (plain text or SRT) inside video/ and name it transcript.txt.
• Transcripts can be in any language (e.g., English, Bengali, etc.).

6. Set Your Gemini API Key

• Open the .env file in the root directory (create it if it doesn't exist).
• Add the following line to the file:

  GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here😒

⚠️ Replace your_api_key_here😒 with your actual Gemini API key every time before running the script.

• Then, open autocropper.py in a text editor (e.g., Notepad). This line should already exist at the top:

  # Set Gemini API key automatically
  import os
  os.environ['GEMINI_API_KEY'] = 'your_api_key_here😒'

⚠️ Replace 'your_api_key_here😒' with your actual Gemini API key every time before you run the script.

7. Run the Script

python autocropper.py

📤 Output

  • Audio-only file: output/combine.mp3

📌 Notes

• Once setup is done, no user prompts are needed during runtime.
