AI product Open source
OpenShorts is an open-source AI video platform for turning long-form videos such as podcasts, webinars, livestreams, and interviews into 9:16 short-form clips. Its Clip Generator transcribes videos with faster-whisper, detects scene boundaries with PySceneDetect, uses an LLM to identify potential moments, cuts them with FFmpeg, and applies face-tracked or multi-speaker vertical layouts, word-level subtitles, hook overlays, effects, and optional dubbing. The platform also includes AI Shorts for generating UGC-style marketing videos with AI actors, scripts, voiceovers, b-roll, and lip-sync, plus YouTube Studio tools for thumbnails, titles, descriptions, and direct publishing. Clips can be distributed to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts through Upload-Post, and the system provides an MCP server, REST API, webhooks, CLI, and agent skill for automation. The core application can be self-hosted with Docker under the MIT license; a hosted version is available at openshorts.app, while the cloud service infrastructure is source-available under a separate commercial license.
