From the README
An open source automated video creation tool for generating short-form video content. Short Video Maker combines text-to-speech, automatic captions, background videos, and music to create engaging short videos from simple text inputs.
This project is meant to provide a free alternative to heavy GPU-power hungry video generation (and a free alternative to expensive, third-party API calls). It doesn't generate a video from scratch based on an image or an image prompt.
The repository was open-sourced by the AI Agents A-Z Youtube Channel. We encourage you to check out the channel for more AI-related content and tutorials.
The server exposes an MCP and a REST server.
While the MCP server can be used with an AI Agent (like n8n) the REST endpoints provide more flexibility for video generation.
You can find example n8n workflows created with the REST/MCP server in this repository.
