Reddit Video Maker Bot 🎥

Project Description

Reddit Video Maker Bot automates the creation of Reddit-style videos, a popular content format on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. It functions programmatically, generating videos without requiring manual video editing or asset compilation. The bot delivers a finished video file that users can then manually upload to their desired platforms.

Usage Instructions

Requirements

• Python 3.10
• Playwright (installs automatically with the bot)

Installation and Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/elebumm/RedditVideoMakerBot
   cd RedditVideoMakerBot
   

2. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Install Playwright browsers:

   python -m playwright install
   python -m playwright install-deps
   

4. Experimental Install Script (macOS/Linux):

   bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elebumm/RedditVideoMakerBot/master/install.sh)
   

   This script handles steps 1-3 and can also be used for updates.
5. Run the bot for the first time:

   python main.py
   

   The bot will guide you through setting up Reddit API details.
   • Visit the Reddit Apps page and create a "script" app, providing any URL for the redirect URL (e.g., https://jasoncameron.dev).
6. Reconfigure (if needed): Edit the config.toml file to remove lines you wish to change. The bot will then prompt for new configurations on its next run.

Note: If facing errors, try python3 or pip3 instead of python or pip.
