makevideo

Fast, standard video generation for AI agents. One JSON script in, one finished MP4 out, rendered the same way every time. You write scenes, each with a line to say. makevideo voices them with one consistent neural voice, times every scene to the real audio, adds captions, and renders an MP4 with a bundled ffmpeg. It runs on the CPU only: no browser, no GPU, no API key and no cloud.

▶ Your agent can make videos now (1:39, written, voiced and rendered by an agent from one JSON file) · ▶ Watch the 87-second showcase, rendered from examples/showcase.json on a laptop CPU, faster than it plays.

Short-form too: "format": "shorts" gives 1080×1920 with big word-by-word captions. ▶ Watch the TikTok-style demo (examples/tiktok.json): 23 s of video rendered in 15 s, plus an auto-exported GIF.

More examples, all made with makevideo: ▶ 59-second demo (spec) · ▶ The house voice · ▶ Distribution recap · ▶ What's new in 0.4: closer to every agent (spec) · ▶ What's new in 0.3: speed (spec) · ▶ What's new in 0.2 (made from one Markdown file) · ▶ Why use makevideo instead of building from scratch (spec) · ▶ Changelog video for v0.1 (spec): changelog and recap videos are a core use case.

What it does: narrated slides · automatic transitions (push, slide, zoom, wipe) · kinetic statements · animated charts · split media + text · write Markdown, get a video · screenshots · gameplay/video clips · GIFs in and out · code · stats · quotes · before/after · TikTok/Reels/Shorts captions · custom fonts · background music · screen recording for trailers · .srt captions · poster frames.

npm i github:random00000000/makevideo
npx makevideo init            # writes video.json
npx makevideo video.json      # → video.mp4 + video.srt + video.report.json + video.jpg
npx makevideo video.json --fast   # same, about 3x faster on a first render
