# Shorts Autopilot
WebUI that finds trending YouTube videos, writes original 60 second scripts with a local Ollama model, generates clips with Google Veo, stitches them with ffmpeg, and uploads them to YouTube as Shorts with generated tags.
## Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- ffmpeg on PATH
- Ollama with a text model and a vision model:
- `ollama pull llama3.1:8b`
- `ollama pull llama3.2-vision`
- Gemini API key with billing enabled (Veo)
- Google Cloud project with YouTube Data API v3 enabled
## Google OAuth setup
1. Google Cloud Console: enable YouTube Data API v3.
2. Create an OAuth client of type Web application.
3. Add redirect URI `http://localhost:8000/auth/callback`.
4. Download it as `client_secret.json` next to `app.py`.
5. Add your Google account as a test user on the OAuth consent screen.
## Run
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```
Open http://localhost:8000
1. Settings: set the storage folder, Gemini key, and profile options, then Save.
2. Dashboard: Link YouTube channel to this profile.
3. Click GO.
## Storage layout
```
<storage folder>\
output\<profile>\<job>\ in progress or failed jobs
published\<profile>\<job>\ uploaded to YouTube
```
App settings, profiles, OAuth tokens, and logs live in `data\`. The log file is `data\logs\app.log`.
## Made for kids
When enabled on a profile, uploads are flagged as made for kids and scripts go through word filters, an LLM compliance review, and per-clip vision checks. By default kids uploads are held as private for manual review. Also set your channel audience to made for kids in YouTube Studio.
## Notes
- Uploads cost about 1,600 of the default 10,000 daily API quota units.
- Uploads from unverified Google API projects are locked to private until the project passes Google's audit.
