What is it?

Short Video Factory is a desktop application for producing product marketing and general-interest short videos with little manual editing. You provide a text prompt and a set of video clips, and the app generates the script with an AI model, converts it to speech, and assembles the clips with subtitles into a finished video.

The copywriting step works with any service that exposes an OpenAI-compatible API. Voiceover is generated with Edge TTS, and the tool supports batch tasks that keep producing videos automatically from a preset configuration. Multiple languages, including Chinese and English, are supported.

The app runs locally on Windows, macOS and Linux. It is built with TypeScript and is licensed under AGPL-3.0. Some items on the roadmap, such as finer parameter control, more TTS providers and richer subtitle effects, are still planned.
