Reddit Video Maker Bot 🎥

All done WITHOUT video editing or asset compiling. Just pure ✨programming magic✨.

Motivation 🤔

These videos on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram get MILLIONS of views across all platforms and require very little effort. The only original thing being done is the editing and gathering of all materials...

... but what if we can automate that process? 🤔

Disclaimers 🚨

• At the moment, this repository won't attempt to upload this content through this bot. It will give you a file that you will then have to upload manually. This is for the sake of avoiding any sort of community guideline issues.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• Playwright (this should install automatically in installation)
• Sox

Installation 👩‍💻

1. Clone this repository

2. 2a Automatic Install: Run python main.py and type 'yes' to activate the setup assistant.

   2b Manual Install: Rename .env.template to .env and replace all values with the appropriate fields. To get Reddit keys (required), visit the Reddit Apps page. TL;DR set up an app that is a "script". Copy your keys into the .env file, along with whether your account uses two-factor authentication.

3. Install SoX

4. Add the directory of your SoX installation to the Path system variables (see https://github.com/elebumm/RedditVideoMakerBot/issues/613) and move the added directory all the way to the top of the list of directories.

5. Run pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Run playwright install and playwright install-deps. (if this fails try adding python -m to the front of the command)

7. Run python main.py (unless you chose automatic install, then the installer will automatically run main.py) required**), visit the Reddit Apps page. TL;DR set up an app that is a "script". Copy your keys into the .env file, along with whether your account uses two-factor authentication.

8. Enjoy 😎

(Note if you got an error installing or running the bot try first rerunning the command with a three after the name e.g. python3 or pip3)
