Python bot that makes movies and posts them daily to YouTube.

Create a set it and forget it shorts channel. I am going to walk you through setting up my fully automated Python bot that creates movies and posts them to YouTube. I walk you through this step by step including setting up a Reddit API and Creating a YouTube channel.

I just divorced my wife of 20 years named Javascript. I hope this Python chick is worth the hassle.

Quick note for the viewer: Any video uploaded just like this will be set on private.
To get your videos to show up oublicly you have to do an API Audit, describing to Google what is to be done with the app.
You will even then also not be able to upload unlimited obviously botted content, that's what the "API Quota" is for.
There are obviously ways to break even systems like this, but trying to trick this system just to upload reddit yt shorts is unproportionally much work.
At that point you might as well just use Selenium and Chrome Driver to manually upload stuff. But even at that point Youtube is not going to show those videos to anyone since the algorithm has filters for spam uploading (obviously)

This dude's taking us closer to the singularity, one video at a time.

honestly your content blows me away. I am a fairly mediocre Computer Science student. I mostly work in the languages we are being taught in (C#, c++, microsoft stuff) for now, but the sheer commitment and ingenuity, not to mention the imagination to come up with some of the projects I've seen on your channel. It's really cool to see. I also like how the videos aren't just the usual "learn how to code an entire app in X" and then it's just something that looks like a student project like a simple "UI for class enrollment" or whatever that you see at universities early on.

I'll be looking forward to more content from you onwards!

Bro I saw your video come down the feed a few days ago and meant to watch it later.

Then I spent 2 hrs today trying to get the YouTube api to cooperate with Make (no code tool). I finally got it working, made myself lunch, and THEN watched your video where you show how to get the YT api credentials 🤣

Great concept and tutorial! Did anybody win the contest?!

[morthim]

i like the base idea. i'm not sure about copyright for youtube, but this could be a way to scrape snark. and start to develop different attitudinal poles.

All the videos are Private (locked). How can I get around this? Marking the Account as "not for children" doesnt help

[peterkim]

Please do video about uploading reels to Instagram using python

Got it running but it sometimes gives the following error: "OSError: cannot write mode P as JPEG"

This was 4 months ago but I still love it

You don't need to edit files you just need to set User or System Enviroment variables so that IMAGE_BINARY points to ImageMagic at 7:54 because if you update the libs your changes will get overwritten. The call to os.getenv('variable name', 'default value') returns the value of the variable set in the environment or default value. On UNIX systems you would add `export VARIABLE_NAME=value` to .bashrc and on windows you can search for "edit environment variables for your account" in your start search thing

It's cool, I been doing something similar but if you use YouTube API you need to verify your project (it's succ), otherwise any video uploaded through API will be privacy locked, you not gonna be able to make them public (

[jazzmoon]

Thanks. What if you wanted to do the second half, and just automate the upload process using a video and description etc that’s stored in an airtable database, and have it run when a status field updates to a value of say schedule?

trying to install the virtual environment, - step 1 - I immediately get the following: The system cannot find the file specified.

[buddhadebsarkar]

I just completed my code... I am going live in March. I am planning to make at least 300 videos/month.
And now
I am looking at your code. I have 1 suggestion for you... look after moviePy.

[RonnieBlaze]

great video!, do you think it would be possible to use Twitch clips as the source and post to youtube?

[WILLFRANCA]

Hey Sir. Is there anyway for us to code the YouTube policy terms with the words that shouldn’t be used?so the Bot doesn’t name the videos wrongly

[allin]

stuck on the virtual setup part not working

[Badar]

Awesome stuff, but do you not need to get permission from the posters to use their Reddit posts?

[giovanniminarini]

This is amazing. I am playingg around, but still new to coding. I would like to ask is it possible to changge to theprinted comment like if it was a facebook or twitter background and put the comments in the lower section of the video?
