OpenShorts is an open-source, self-hosted AI video automation platform designed to generate, edit, and distribute short-form vertical content across social media platforms. It combines multiple tools into a single pipeline, including clip generation, AI-driven video creation, and YouTube optimization features. The system can transform long videos or uploaded files into short clips by detecting engaging moments, reframing content, and adding subtitles and visual effects. It also supports generating marketing videos using AI actors, voiceovers, and scripted narratives without requiring cameras or production resources. The platform integrates publishing capabilities, allowing users to distribute content directly to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Its architecture uses modern technologies such as FastAPI, FFmpeg, and AI models for transcription, analysis, and rendering. Designed for creators and businesses, it automates the entire lifecycle of short-form video production.
