Inspiration
The inspiration for this project came from seeing a friend have to struggle through having to download and stitch videos together when he was trying to make background footage for his YouTube Video. I saw this and I thought, "what if we could automate this?" And so I ended up automating it and using it as a great hackathon project.
What it does
This App is very simple in its operation. All you have to do is enter in some inputs (specified in the documentation) and it will do its magic and give you a link to your video which you can download! I designed it to be simple so that many people can use it.
How I built it
This project was built using a wide selection of Python libraries including PyTube, random, moviepy, google-cloud-storage, and youtube-search-python. From there, it was just up to figuring out how to make each video unique to each user and also make it able to randomly generate videos.
The Challenge
This project was no easy feat. The biggest challenge for this project was making it so that it could run as efficiently as possible. Because it involves downloading videos, efficiency is crucial in development so as to give the fastest processing time and to cause as little headaches as possible for the user.
Accomplishments that I am proud of
I believe that the ability to have this project hosted on MecSimCalc is amazing as it would allow more users to be able to access it. This is a great accomplishment as it means that many people can use this application.
