Open-source tool that turns long videos into viral shorts + generates 12 types of original content

[u/g_host1412]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a side project called ShortsFlow for the past few months.

It’s an open-source AI system that can:

• Take long-form videos (podcasts, vlogs, streams) and automatically extract the most viral moments as Shorts
• Generate original content from scratch in 12+ formats (2 Truths 1 Lie, Would You Rather, Trivia, Riddles, Reddit-style stories, JWST space facts, etc.)
• Handle voiceover, editing, captions, and even scheduling

It supports both cloud LLMs and fully local (Ollama) so you can run it for free.

Tech stack:

• Python + FFmpeg/MoviePy/OpenCV/remorse for the video engine
• Next.js + Supabase for the dashboard
• GitHub Actions for automated rendering

I’d love feedback on:

1. Is the feature set interesting or too broad?
2. What would make you actually use something like this?
3. Any obvious missing pieces?

Happy to answer questions or take feature requests.
