What is Short Video Maker?
Short Video Maker is an open source tool that generates short-form videos from simple text inputs. It combines text-to-speech, automatic captions, background videos, and music to create engaging short videos, serving as a free alternative to GPU-heavy video generation and expensive third-party APIs.
How to use Short Video Maker?
Run the Docker container with docker run -it --rm --name short-video-maker -p 3123:3123 -e PEXELS_API_KEY=your_key bilalnaseer/free-video-maker:latest. Access the web UI at http://localhost:3123 or use the MCP server with an AI agent (e.g., n8n). The REST endpoints offer more flexibility for video generation.
