short-video-maker

Overview

Short Video Maker is an automated video creation tool that generates short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. It combines text-to-speech conversion, automatic caption generation, and background video selection from Pexels. The server exposes both MCP and REST APIs, allowing integration with AI agents or direct API calls. The tool works by converting text to speech using Kokoro TTS, generating accurate captions via Whisper, finding relevant background videos, and composing everything using Remotion.
