MoneyPrinterTurbo
Takes a topic or keywords, writes a script with an LLM (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Ollama), pulls stock clips from Pexels, Pixabay or Coverr or generates them via video APIs, adds TTS narration (Edge TTS needs no key; Azure, ElevenLabs, Kokoro), subtitles and music, then renders 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1 videos. Usable through a WebUI, REST API, CLI or an agent skill. For creators automating short-form content.
Who it is for: Creators automating short-form video production
Strengths
- Edge TTS works without any API key; many other TTS and LLM providers supported
- Four entry points: WebUI, API, CLI and an agent skill; batch generation and task history
- Runs on CPU; minimum spec is 4 cores and 4 GB RAM
- One-click publishing to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts
Weaknesses
- README is Chinese first; the English version is a separate file
- Default flow needs external LLM and stock-footage API keys
- README carries heavy sponsor advertising and affiliate links
- Local faster-whisper transcription and batch runs want a 4 GB+ VRAM GPU
- RAM ≥ 4 GB
- no GPU
- Docker + Compose
- Needs LLM API (OpenAI-compatible) or Ollama, Stock footage API (Pexels, Pixabay, Coverr) or a video generation API
- Models: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen (DashScope)
