someone built a free, open source tool that automatically creates complete short-form videos for tiktok, reels, and youtube shorts. it's called openshorts. drop in a long video, podcast, webinar, livestream, and gemini identifies the high-impact moments, face-tracks the speaker, burns in captions, and auto-publishes across all three platforms on a schedule. it also generates fully synthetic ugc ads from scratch. paste a product url, it scrapes the page, writes a hook-problem-solution script, generates a virtual avatar, and synthesizes the voiceover. no camera, no actor, no studio. self-hosted and free under mit, no watermark, no cap. cloud version starts at $12 a month if you don't want to run it yourself.(CyrilXBT)
