Medium Video Factory

Local-first AI medium-video planning console for creators and automation builders.

The project provides a browser control panel, template-driven episode planning, trend scanning hooks, n8n workflow templates, and provider adapters for OpenAI-compatible text, image, and video APIs. It is designed to keep expensive provider calls explicit: planning, image generation, video generation, status refreshes, and n8n notifications are separate steps.

What is included

• Local Node.js HTTP server with a web control panel at http://localhost:4173.
• Medium-video templates for story, education, workflow tutorial, map/geography, product demo, science explainer, and other repeatable formats.
• Trend scanning pipeline with TikHub-compatible API hooks.
• Text brain, image provider, and video provider adapters for OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
• n8n workflow JSON templates for local-controller and scheduled modes.
• Tests for trend mapping and video factory provider behavior.

What is not included

This public repository intentionally does not include local secrets, generated videos, downloaded reference packs, model weights, node_modules, or run outputs. Use only content you own or are authorized to process.

Quick start

• TEXT_AI_API_KEY, TEXT_AI_BASE_URL, and TEXT_AI_MODEL for planning.
• YUNWU_API_KEY and image model variables for image generation.
• YUNWU_VIDEO_API_KEY and video model variables for video generation.
• N8N_API_URL, N8N_API_KEY, and N8N_FACTORY_WORKFLOW_ID for pushing n8n workflows.
• MEDIUM_VIDEO_N8N_SHARED_SECRET to protect n8n-facing webhook endpoints.
