Hey everyone! I've spent the past week developing a Python project that automates the creation of YouTube Shorts. Here's a quick rundown of how it works: it generates a script based on a chosen topic using Cohere's Command R+ API, scrapes relevant images, and then utilizes `moviepy` to stitch everything together with captions and a voiceover using `pyttsx3`. The final output is an `.mp4` file that requires no manual editing. It's my first dive into multimedia tools with Python, and I would really appreciate any feedback on how to optimize the rendering speed of `moviepy`, enhance the voice quality from `pyttsx3` or any alternatives, and deal with edge cases such as missing images or varying script lengths. Feel free to check out my GitHub repo if you're interested: [GitHub - YouTube Short Automation](https://github.com/GONAASK/Youtube-Short-Automation). Thanks for any insights or suggestions!

I get your enthusiasm, but it's worth considering if we really need more AI-generated content. This space is already getting crowded. It might be better to think of something that adds real value instead.
Automation is definitely a hot topic right now! But honestly, a lot of what we see in Shorts is AI-generated. People still watch it, so there’s definitely an audience. Just find a unique angle to stand out!
I see your point, but AI and automation are the future whether we like it or not. Many others are cashing in on similar projects. So why not get in on the action while there's still opportunity?
