VidSubsPy

automated video subtitles creation using whisperx, moviepy and optional chatGPT for translation

Overview

This Python library provides a comprehensive solution for generating subtitles for videos in different languages. It leverages:

• WhisperX ASR for speech-to-text transcription.
• ChatGPT for optional translation of the transcription.
• MoviePy for generating videos with subtitles.

Core Functionalities

1. Video to Transcript (vid2transcript.py)

This script converts a given video file into a transcript file (json). It uses WhisperX ASR for the transcription process.

Usage:

python vid2transcript.py --input_video /path/to/video.mp4 --output_transcript /path/to/transcript.json

2. Translate Transcript (translatetranscript.py)

This script translates an existing transcript file into another language. The translation is done using ChatGPT.

Usage:

python translatetranscript.py --input_transcript /path/to/transcript.json --output_transcript /path/to/translated_transcript.json --target_language es

3. Transcript to Subtitled Video (transcript2subvid.py)

This script takes a transcript file and an original video to generate a new video with subtitles. The subtitles are generated using the MoviePy library.

Usage:

python transcript2subvid.py --input_transcript /path/to/transcript.json --input_video /path/to/video.mp4 --output_video /path/to/video_with_subtitles.mp4
