A Python-based tool that automates the process of creating captioned videos with voiceovers by combining background videos with text input. This program streamlines the video content creation process by handling text-to-speech conversion, caption generation, and video composition in one seamless workflow. This tool can also scrape Reddit for content, making it perfect for creating Reddit-story videos.
Note on VideoBot2: Version 2 of this project, which includes improved caption generation, enhanced voice capabilities, and an intuitive web-based user interface, is not publicly available at this time. The current repository contains version 1, which provides core functionality for video processing with captions and voiceovers. Please contact me if you wish to gain access to VideoBot2.

Create userinfo.txt according to the following setup:
userinfo.txt
CLIENT_ID
SECRET_KEY
AppName/Version
username
password
CLIENT_ID and SECRET_KEY are used for authenticating the Reddit API call. You must create an authorized application using a Reddit username and password at https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps to create a CLIENT_ID and SECRET_KEY. The AppName/Version line contains the name of the application and the version (Ex. MyApp/0.0.1). The username and password lines are simply the Reddit username and password used to create the authorized application.
