:rocket: Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Obtain a client key and secret from Reddit by creating an app here.

• Install autovid via pip

  pip install autovid
  

Usage

• Import autovid and update the Reddit API id and secret to let autovid access Reddit.

   import autovid as av
   
   av.api_keys.client_id = "my_client_id"
   av.api_keys.client_secret = "my_client_secret"
  

• Autovid creates 'clips' that are combined to create the final video. Use the redditpostclip or redditcommentclip methods to create clips that can be passed to the makevideo method to generate the video.

  q = [
     av.redditpostclip("https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/87/the_downing_street_memo/"),
     av.redditcommentclip("https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/87/comment/c16lbx4"),
  ]
  
  av.makevideo(queue=q)
  

That's it! You can find your final video saved as temp/final.mp4!

Advanced

You can pass in parameters to the makevideo method to tweak the final video.

• Adding background audio and video:

  q = [
     av.redditpostclip("https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/87/the_downing_street_memo/"),
  ]
  
  av.makevideo(queue=q, background_audio_path="lofi_music.mp3", background_video_path="minecraft.mp4")
  

  Autovid will use these to add background music and videos to the final output. A 720p video works best!
