BrainrotGenerator

BrainrotGenerator is a pipeline designed to automatically generate "brain rot" style videos from Reddit stories, ready to post on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.

Features

• Scrapes or imports Reddit stories from selected subreddits or user submissions
• Converts stories into engaging video formats with visuals, subtitles, and audio
• Dynamic video duration - automatically adjusts video length based on when the last comment finishes
• YouTube gameplay backgrounds - automatically downloads and processes YouTube videos as background gameplay
• Adds effects, memes, and other elements typical of "brain rot" content
• Outputs videos optimized for social media sharing

Key Improvements

• No more static time limits: Videos now extend to exactly when the last comment cuts off
• Efficient processing: Optimized to parse speech marks only once
• Clean architecture: Consolidated video generation logic into reusable functions
