AutoTube
From a topic to a published YouTube Short, in one desktop workflow.
Windows / Python / FFmpeg / YouTube API
The problem
Creating Shorts meant switching between tools for research, scripts, voiceover, footage, captions, and publishing.
What I built
A Windows application that connects those steps in one workflow, with automated video assembly, upload handling, and retries.
How it works
Choose a topic. Generate a script and narration. Combine footage and captions with FFmpeg, then publish through YouTube.
Tested on a real channel.
August–September 2026 pilot
Reported in the supplied case study and YouTube Analytics export. Pilot results, not a performance guarantee.
What I learned
Automation solves production.
Good content still drives results.
Six Shorts passed 1,000 views, but the median was 72. In this pilot, 25–34 second videos performed best. The next priorities are stronger opening hooks and a dedicated preview and approval step.
