About The Project

This project focuses on generating short videos based on news webpages. It begins by parsing the content of the news webpage, after which it utilizes the GPT4 model to generate a news anchor script. Based on this script, appropriate images are collected or generated. All these materials are then compiled to create a news short video. The final generated video cites the news source and each image includes a website watermark for reference.

Support originality, all resources used in video have marked with its source!

This project is under developing, so interface may change anytime.

Known Issue

• '-r', '%.02f' % fps, must be real number, not NoneType Not sure why it happen, can be fixed only by assign value for fps in moviepy/video/io/ffmpeg_writer.py, currently I assign the 30.0
• an temp audio file will be generate by will not be delete automatically
• the avatar video in webm type have transparent background, it automatically become white, hid the image for news

On going fix for the issue: use FFMPEG instead of moviepy

Usage

Take example_gen_video.py as an example that generate a video for 1st sport news in China.

• To get news, use BingSearchAdapter in tools/search_adapter.py. It depends on your bing search service. A free plan is enough for this project.
• Avatar functionality requires a non-free plan in limited region, please refer to Azure Speech Service for details.
• OCR functionality is powered by EasyOCR
