// how it works

How it works

  1. Bring source material

    A long video, a script, or just a topic — pick the input your tool expects.

  2. Configure the output

    Aspect ratio (9:16), voice, captions, and branding.

  3. Generate or cut

    AI writes, voices, and edits; clipping tools find the highlights.

  4. Publish everywhere

    Exports sized for Shorts, TikTok, and Reels.

Why people love it

Python ecosystem

Built on Python, so it plugs into the wider data and ML tooling ecosystem.

Video-native

Handles video end to end — ingest, process, and export.

Faceless video

Full videos from a script — voiceover, visuals, captions included.

Scheduling friendly

Outputs drop straight into schedulers.

Platform presets

One click to the right size and codec per network.

No filming needed

Stock visuals and AI voices replace cameras and mics.

MIT licensed — use it commercially, no strings attached.
