Autovideov2	Streamlit app that turns a topic or script into a narrated video with optional AI visuals (Pexels or Pixar-style AI images), narrator cut-ins, background music, and a final review step.

I made this a dark documentary tone, but you can modify it using the code.

🕯️ Autovideo (v2)

A Streamlit app that turns a topic or your own script into a dark, ominous narrated video with:

• AI script generation (optional)
• Premium voiceover via ElevenLabs (cached)
• Visual pipeline options
  • v1: Copyright-free stock visuals from Pexels (video + images)
  • v2: Pixar-style AI images generated per script segment (cost-controlled)
• Final manual visual review step (replace bad clips before rendering)
• Optional background music
• Optional narrator face cut-ins (every ~minute)

Features

✅ Script

• Upload .txt / .md scripts
• Or generate scripts from a topic (dark documentary tone)

✅ Voiceover

• ElevenLabs TTS (cached using a hash of the script)
• Automatically regenerates if cached file is corrupted / too small

✅ Visuals (choose one)

Option A — Pexels slideshow (v1)

• Splits script into segments
• Uses a small OpenAI model to generate a short search query per segment
• Fetches Pexels video first, falls back to Pexels image
• Lets you:
  • edit the query per segment
  • replace clips with one click
  • preview everything before render

Option B — Pixar-style AI frames (v2)

• Generates stylized scenes aligned with the script
• Creates a cinematic slideshow with audio
• Designed for brand-unique visuals without stock footage

⚠️ Video generation (true animated clips) is not enabled in this repo yet — v2 currently uses AI images stitched into a slideshow.
