Hi there ,
Am here to share my youtube bot. Yeah you read that right that's a youtube bot ,That creates or edits video and can even upload to youtube,but there is a catch that I will show guys soon. This Bot makes own video specially youtube shorts,and also has to ability to push it to youtube via youtube data api v3.It maintains or works as a editor for the following channel Anime Love.Yeah 550 views in 2 days 🤩much more than I expected. Thanks to my editor or bot my of course 😉. and And this guy and his anime-api without you it just a dream bro .I owe you one✌️
Resources used
Getting Started
First , create a virtual environment (in windows)
py -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
install moviepy
pip install moviepy
install bing-image-downloader
pip install bing-image-downloader
Project Structure:
- asset folder for primary audio clips and
- final_cut folder for the final video to upload
Python Files
- baseBgVid
- generate_img
- download_character
- my_editor
- upload_video
baseBgVid py
Overview
What I did was, by using animechan-api ,I fetched random quotes from random anime ,then using bing_image_downloader ,I downloaded one image for one character ,then by using moviepy I created a transparent image for the quote and the character ,then merged image ,quote and character image to form a 6 or 5 second video . I decided to show 3 quotes for three characters in one video ,to produce final cut I merged all three video and added a audio file .One youtube shorts is 30 second long so 6 time 3 is 18 seconds and 5 or 6 second intro video ,which is roughly around 24 to 27 seconds. To see its results visit Anime Love.I know the final cut was not that great and this did come up that well ,but hopes it is a good side project Please share me your thoughts about this guys ✌️. Am eagerly waiting for the review

The Problem
I can't able to publish the video directly to youtube via youtube data api v3 , I can and it also uploads it successfully but youtube suddenly makes the video private and sends me a warning mail that my content missing the community guidelines but when I upload the same video manually it successfully uploads to youtube . If this problem was not there only one time I want to run this script only once and it automatically uploads for me forever . Sadly youtube said no to it 😒 because they had changed their polices on uploading video via youtube data api v3 from the end of 2020
Conclusion
This is my very first blog post guys very exited to see its review . Hope I didn't waste your time and hope this bot have some potential if so let me know it repo of the bot. Thank you for reading my content . See you in the next one, Until its bye from yourdevlogesh003 peace ✌️
