Welcome to the Reddit-to-TikTok Video Generator – your all-in-one, modular, and hackable Python tool for transforming top Reddit content into engaging, vertical TikTok (or YouTube Shorts) videos, complete with TTS narration, subtitles, and dynamic backgrounds!

• Fetches Top Reddit Posts: Uses the Reddit API to grab trending threads and their best comments.
• AI-Powered Rewriting: Leverages OpenAI to rewrite posts and comments for maximum TikTok engagement.
• Natural TTS Narration: Generates high-quality voiceovers using Google Cloud TTS.
• Word-Level Subtitles: Syncs subtitles to audio with word-level precision using Faster Whisper.
• Dynamic Video Creation: Assembles everything with MoviePy, overlays subtitles, and adds background visuals and music.
• Highly Customizable: Swap out backgrounds, TTS engines, or even the source subreddit with ease.
• Safe & Automated: Keeps track of used threads, trims silences, and handles temp files like a champ.

1. Fetches a top Reddit post and its best comments.
2. Rewrites the content for TikTok using OpenAI (GPT-4).
3. Generates TTS audio for the title and comments.
4. Creates word-synced subtitles.
5. Composes a vertical video with dynamic backgrounds, music, and overlays.
6. Exports a ready-to-upload TikTok/Shorts video and a tags file for easy posting.

1. Clone the repo and install dependencies:

   git clone https://github.com/veexer/AskReddit-Shorts-Generator
   cd AskReddit-Shorts-Generator
   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set up your API keys in a .env file:

   OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key
   GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=path-to-your-google-credentials.json
   

   • For Reddit API credentials, see this guide.
   • For Google Cloud TTS, see this guide.

3. Place your background videos and music in the project directory (see variables at the top of Redditcontentlocal.py).
   You can use your own files—just update the filenames in the script!

4. Run the script:

   python Redditcontentlocal.py

5. Check your output videos in the configured output directory! (Default is usually D:\autoedit\60\Reddit—you can change this in the script.)

Want to generate videos in Polish?
Check out Redditcontentmanual.py—it’s a localized version of the main script, perfect for Polish TikTok or Shorts!
Just follow the same setup steps and run:

python Redditcontentmanual.py

Now you’re ready to go viral in two languages. Multilingual flex! 💪

• Change Subreddits: Edit the SUBREDDIT_CHOICES list in Redditcontentlocal.py.
• Swap TTS Engine: Replace the text_to_speech_gtts function with your favorite TTS provider.
• Backgrounds & Music: Add your own video/music files and update the paths at the top of the script.
• Tune Video Length: Adjust MAX_VIDEO_DURATION and MIN_VIDEO_DURATION as needed.

• Python
• PRAW (Reddit API)
• OpenAI GPT-4
• Google Cloud TTS
• MoviePy
• Faster Whisper
• Pydub
• dotenv

• All Python dependencies are in requirements.txt:

  pip install -r requirements.txt

• You’ll also need ffmpeg and ImageMagick installed and on your system PATH for MoviePy and text rendering.

• Generated videos and tags will appear in the output directory set in the script (default: D:\autoedit\60\Reddit).
• You can change this path at the top of Redditcontentlocal.py.

• Font errors? Make sure the font path in the script matches a font installed on your system.
• MoviePy/ImageMagick errors? Double-check that both are installed and available in your system PATH.
• API errors? Make sure your credentials are correctly set in the .env file and not expired.
• Missing media files? Use your own background videos/music or update the filenames in the script.

If you get stuck, don’t panic—just open an issue or reach out! Even the best need a little help sometimes.

• Automate your content pipeline and never run out of TikTok ideas.
• Simple to adapt with a modular, well-documented codebase.
• Easily extend or hack for your own wild content automation dreams.
