yamlreel is now on PyPI.

pip install "yamlreel[ffmpeg]"     # or: pipx install "yamlreel[ffmpeg]"
yamlreel init system-design my-video.yaml
yamlreel render my-video.yaml --preview

🎬 The 1-minute demo, made entirely by yamlreel from one YAML file, is on the v0.2.0 release.

What's new

  • First PyPI release: pip install "yamlreel[ffmpeg]" brings its own ffmpeg; add [capture] for web-page screenshots.
  • Releases are published automatically from GitHub with Trusted Publishing: tested, built, smoke-tested from the wheel, and approved before upload.
  • README works on PyPI too, with a short "Why yamlreel" comparison.
  • Contributing is easier: CONTRIBUTING.md, a code of conduct, and bug and feature forms.

Upgrading from vidgen? See the v0.2.0 release notes.

Write a short YAML file. Get a finished video. yamlreel renders system-design explainers, code tips and project demos for YouTube, Shorts and LinkedIn: animated diagrams, typed code, original music and an optional voiceover in your own voice, all on your own machine.

🎬 Demo: the attached videos were made entirely by yamlreel from one YAML file, with no video editor. yamlreel-demo-vertical.mp4 is the Shorts cut and yamlreel-demo-landscape.mp4 the YouTube cut.

Highlights

  • Renamed from vidgen to yamlreel. "vidgen" clashed with hundreds of other projects; yamlreel is unique.
  • Easier install: pip install -e '.[ffmpeg]' brings its own ffmpeg, so there's nothing else to install on most systems.
  • --no-voice renders any spec with music only, no text-to-speech server needed.
  • Clearer errors for a missing ffmpeg, missing fonts or a bad voice-server URL, each telling you how to fix it.
  • Per-user font folders are found on macOS and Windows; Fedora and Arch font paths are supported.

Upgrading from vidgen

Old names keep working until 0.3.0, with a warning: the vidgen command, VIDGEN_* variables, ~/.config/vidgen/config.yaml and ./vidgen.config.yaml. To switch over:

git pull
pip uninstall -y vidgen && pip install -e '.[ffmpeg]'   # with your venv active
mv ~/.config/vidgen ~/.config/yamlreel                    # if you have a user config

The old GitHub URL redirects here. Set VIDGEN_* variables as YAMLREEL_*, and rename vidgen.config.yaml to yamlreel.config.yaml in your projects. If VoiceStudio binds a voice to the client vidgen, set voice_server.client_id: vidgen or rebind it.

Get started

git clone https://github.com/nsijwali/yamlreel.git && cd yamlreel
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e '.[ffmpeg]'
yamlreel init system-design my-video.yaml && yamlreel render my-video.yaml

Demo voice: cloned with VoiceStudio (OmniVoice model, CC-BY-NC). Music: generated by yamlreel.
