Reddit Video Maker Bot 🎥

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

Created by Lewis Menelaws & Heavily modified by Jason Cameron

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 🚨

• This is purely for fun purposes.
• 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+ (3.10 is recommended tho )
• Playwright (this should install automatically in installation)

Installation 👩‍💻

1. Clone this repository
2. 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. Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt
4. install SoX
5. Run playwright install and playwright install-deps.
6. Run python3 main.py
7. Enjoy 😎

In its current state, this bot does exactly what it needs to do. However, lots of improvements can be made.

I have tried to simplify the code so anyone can read it and start contributing at any skill level. Don't be shy :) contribute!
