Open-source VEED alternatives

Short Video Factory is an open-source desktop application that simplifies short video production with AI. You supply a text prompt together with storyboard footage, and the app generates copy, voiceover, edits and subtitles to produce marketing and general-interest clips with little manual work.

According to its README, the toolchain covers AI-driven script writing from prompts, text-to-speech narration, automated clip editing across common video formats, automatic subtitles and visual effects, and batch processing so multiple tasks can run in sequence from presets. It is a cross-platform desktop program for Windows, macOS and Linux, aimed at an out-of-the-box experience, and its topics reference TikTok-style short video content.

The project is written in TypeScript and licensed under AGPL-3.0. Its documentation is mainly in Chinese, with an English summary in the repository tagline. It suits marketers, small businesses and content creators who need to produce many short product or promotional videos quickly on their own computer.

ShortGPT is an experimental AI framework for automating the creation of short-form video content such as YouTube Shorts and TikTok clips. It is aimed at creators who want to reduce the manual work of scripting, footage sourcing, voiceover synthesis, captioning and editing for high-volume short video channels.

It provides an LLM-oriented video editing language with ready-to-use scripts and prompts, voiceover generation in more than 30 languages through EdgeTTS, automated caption generation, and sourcing of images and video assets. The project showcases voice dubbing and automated editing workflows in demo videos, and it is primarily run as a local web app, with Google Colab recommended for an easier setup.

ShortGPT is written in Python, uses GPT-4 and other OpenAI capabilities, and is released under the MIT license. It is described as experimental, so users should expect ongoing changes and review the installation notes before running it, and API usage with providers such as OpenAI is billed separately.
