MoneyPrinterTurbo: Open-Source AI Pipeline from Topic to HD Short Video
Give it a topic or keyword; it drafts the script, matches or generates footage, adds voice and captions, and renders portrait/landscape/square shorts you can review before publishing.
What it does
MoneyPrinterTurbo is an all-in-one AI short-video generation workflow. Per the English README, you provide a topic or keyword, and the stack can generate the script, match stock or AI footage, create subtitles and background music, and compose an HD short.
Surfaces:
- WebUI (Streamlit), HTTP API, CLI (
mpt/cli.py), and an Agent Skill document agents can follow for install + generate. - Install via PyPI package
mpt, Windows one-click package, Docker (ghcr.io/harry0703/moneyprinterturbo), source +uv, or Colab.
Pipeline knobs (from the feature list — not a revenue claim):
- Scripts / LLMs: many providers and OpenAI-compatible gateways (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi/Moonshot, Azure, Ollama, OpenRouter, and others listed in the README).
- Footage: local uploads; free stock APIs (Pexels, Pixabay, Coverr); optional text-to-video / image providers (Seedance, MiniMax H3, Wan, WaveSpeed, MuAPI, OpenAI-compatible image, etc.).
- Voice: Edge TTS (free, no key), Azure, ElevenLabs, Gemini TTS, and several self-hosted or cloud TTS options; upload or mute also supported.
- Subtitles: Edge timestamp mode (default) or local
faster-whisper. - Outputs: 9:16 (1080×1920), 16:9 (1920×1080), 1:1 (1080×1080); optional upload helpers for TikTok / Instagram / YouTube Shorts.
- Batch generation, task history, and config import/export.
Important framing for readers: this is an open short-video production pipeline, not a guaranteed income machine. The repo name is playful marketing; TidyHow does not claim earnings, CPM, or "print money" outcomes. Quality depends on your model/API choices, stock licensing, and editing taste. Follow platform ToS and copyright rules for music, faces, and stock assets.
Who it's for
- Creators and marketers who want a self-hosted alternative to closed "AI short video" SaaS for drafts and batch experiments.
- Developers wiring short-form generation into n8n / custom backends via the API or CLI.
- Teams okay managing API keys and ffmpeg locally (GPU helps whisper and heavy local paths but is optional for cloud-heavy setups).

How it differs from similar projects
Compared with CapCut / closed creator suites. Those are polished hosted editors. MoneyPrinterTurbo is open-source, scriptable, and self-hosted, with an API/CLI/agent surface — more engineering control, less turnkey polish.
Compared with bare MoviePy / ffmpeg scripts. MPT bundles LLM scripting, material matching, TTS, captions, and a WebUI into one opinionated pipeline.
Compared with pure text-to-video model UIs. MPT is a workflow: it can use stock footage or pluggable T2V providers rather than being a single-model playground.
TidyHow has not timed end-to-end renders or judged content quality. Sample videos on the README are author-produced demos, not independent benchmarks. Do not treat star count or the project name as evidence of monetization success.
