Recently, there is a popular product called ShortGPT.
In less than half a month after its launch, ShortGPT has already received over 3K stars on GitHub.
Let's take a closer look: ShortGPT is a powerful framework for automated content creation.
It simplifies video production, material acquisition, voice synthesis, and editing tasks.
ShortGPT is a magical tool that can help you automatically create various types of content. Do you want to make videos? No problem, it can help you find materials, do voiceovers, add subtitles, and even automatically edit. Do you want to speak in different languages? Also not a problem, it can help you with translation and pronunciation. You can easily use it through a web page.
How does ShortGPT achieve this? It actually utilizes many amazing technologies, such as Moviepy, Openai, ElevenLabs, Pexels, and Bing Image, etc. They are all experts in video and content creation. ShortGPT brings them all together to provide you with an all-in-one service.
In simple terms, it almost achieves one-click batch video production.
Just imagine, what would it be like to update 100 videos on YouTube in one day?
How does it achieve this?
