commentary-video

Turn any source video into a commentary / reaction / video-essay MP4 that runs fully headless: AI selects the segments worth commenting on, edge-tts narrates the commentary, ASS renders on-screen captions and commentary cards, and ffmpeg stitches it into one 16:9 video — with an attribution block that links back to the original.

Generates a headless commentary/reaction video from a source video — AI-cuts the segments worth reacting to, narrates the commentary with edge-tts, burns on-screen…

How you ask

  • “Make a commentary video reacting to this YouTube video: {url}, arguing that isolated project memory doesn't compound”
  • “Cut this talk down to the key claims and add my talk-over commentary”
  • “Do a silent text-only video essay on this video”
  • “React to this video — clip the hot takes and comment on each”
  • “Turn this into a reaction video and link back to the original in the description”

Inputs

  • source_url_or_video — YouTube/social URL, or a local MP4 path already on disk
  • commentary_angle — The POV that steers segment selection (e.g. 'he abandoned the custom brain — here's why structured beats conversational memory')
  • source_url_or_video — YouTube/social URL, or a local MP4 path
  • commentary_angle — The steering POV for segment selection

Outputs

  • Final MP4, beside {name}_description.md and {name}_script.md. Moving it into a marketing folder is a deliberate, human-confirmed step and never the default.
