In simple English
This tool turns a short phrase or topic into a finished vertical or horizontal video. It writes the script, generates a voiceover, finds matching video clips and background music, and burns in subtitles. You can run it through a web screen, an API, or a command-line interface. It connects to various cloud AI services for writing and voice generation, so you will need your own API keys for most of them. The program is free and open-source, though running it heavily relies on paid external services.
What it is
MoneyPrinterTurbo is an open-source Python application that automates the creation of short videos for platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. It combines large language models, text-to-speech services, stock media search, and video editing into a single pipeline.

- Provides a web interface, command-line tools, and an API for automation.
- Supports dozens of speech and AI model providers including free Edge TTS.
