RealForge

An end-to-end automation platform for creating short-form videos. Takes you from script to published content across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram with AI-powered generation at every step.

Features

• Script Segmentation -- Break scripts into A-Roll (narration) and B-Roll (visuals) with LLM assistance via Ollama
• AI Visual Generation -- Generate B-Roll images/videos through ComfyUI (Flux, WAN, LoRA workflows) or Replicate
• Avatar Video -- Create talking-head A-Roll segments using HeyGen avatars
• Video Assembly -- Stitch A-Roll and B-Roll with audio sync and transitions
• Styled Captions -- Word-by-word animated captions with multiple effects (fade, scale, highlight)
• Multi-Platform Publishing -- Export and upload to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+
• FFmpeg installed and available on PATH
• At least one of:
  • ComfyUI server (for image/video generation)
  • Replicate API token
• Ollama (for local LLM-based prompt generation)
• HeyGen API key (for avatar videos)

Quick Start

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dawarazhar11/ai-money-printer-shorts.git
cd ai-money-printer-shorts

# Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
# .venv\Scripts\activate   # Windows

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys and server URLs

# Run the application
cd app
streamlit run Home.py

Then open http://localhost:8501 in your browser.

Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env and set your values:

Variable	Description
COMFYUI_IMAGE_API_URL	ComfyUI server for image generation
COMFYUI_VIDEO_API_URL	ComfyUI server for video generation
OLLAMA_API_URL	Ollama API endpoint
HEYGEN_API_KEY	HeyGen API key for avatar videos
REPLICATE_API_TOKEN	Replicate API token

Workflow

The application guides you through an 8-step pipeline:

1. Settings -- Configure project name, duration, and API connections
2. Blueprint -- Visualize the video structure and segment layout
3. Script Segmentation -- Organize your script into A-Roll and B-Roll sections
4. B-Roll Prompts -- Generate optimized prompts for AI visual generation
5. Content Production -- Generate A-Roll (HeyGen) and B-Roll (ComfyUI/Replicate) in parallel
6. Video Assembly -- Stitch segments together with audio synchronization
7. Captioning -- Add styled, word-synced captions with animation effects
8. Publishing -- Export and upload to social media platforms
