Auto Video Creation for Social Media

[forsocialmedia86]

Greetings,

I recently finished coding a fully automated video creation and posting bot for Facebook and YouTube. The traffic is absolutely flowing, but I've hit a realization that potentially turns this project into a "fancy paperweight": the lag time for monetization on fresh accounts.

Results so far​

The traffic generation is working better than expected. Here is the breakdown from the last couple of weeks:

• Total Views: ~731,000 combined.
• YouTube: 414k+ views.
• Facebook: 317k+ views.
• Account Status: 9 out of the 10 accounts used were brand new.

What the bot does (high level)​

• Content Generation: Automatically assembles video clips based on input parameters.
• Metadata: Generates optimization-friendly titles, descriptions, and hashtags.
• Auto-Posting: Handles the upload and publishing process to social platforms without manual intervention.
• Scheduling: Manages the cadence of posts to keep feeds active.

Testing setup​

• Volume: Currently running across 5 Facebook Pages and 5 YouTube Channels.
• Timeframe: These metrics were gathered over just a couple of weeks of runtime.

Limitations & concerns​

The tech is solid, but the monetization strategy is the bottleneck. This tool is a goldmine for accounts that are already monetized. However, since I am starting with fresh accounts, I am stuck waiting for ad eligibility. I honestly don't know how long it will take to get ads running on these Reels/Shorts, or if the effort to reach that threshold makes sense compared to just buying aged accounts.

Next steps & experiments​

I hate to abandon a working project, so I’m going to keep the lights on and treat this as a live case study.
Have a specific monetization idea or stress test you want me to try? Let me know below.

What's the quality of videos generated
What API do you hook to at the back end
What do you use to generate the video script
I believe this is in English right?

Appreciate the interest! I’m going to keep the specific backend info to myself for now, as I haven't decided if I'm deleting, selling, archiving, or scaling this yet.

To answer what I can:

Language: Yes, strictly English.

Video Quality: It’s designed to mimic 'real' footage rather than cinematic movies. Think iPhone, ring cam, CCTV, dashcam, or GoPro styles. As an example, it might generate Ring cam footage of a skinwalker in a front yard, but it won't generate a clear, polished movie or TV show with scene cuts. Also, think Shorts and Reels duration.

Generation Logic: I built two modes that work across multiple options. Options include: random ideas, presets, manual selections, etc. The 2 modes are "raw" and "enhanced". 'Raw' uses exact inputs, while 'Enhanced' takes a simple concept (e.g., 'guy walking dog') and uses AI to hallucinate a complex, detailed scenario so the output never repeats. Even if you ran "guy walking dog" 1,000 times, each generation will be unique. If you choose 'Random + Enhanced,' you don't have to think of a script; it will generate its own.

Funny thing is, although Random + Enhanced sounds good, I found through testing that these platforms don't exactly favor random-ass videos. So within the couple of weeks of testing, I've rarely used that mode. But when I do, I use it to see what the algorithm favors most from my page. Whatever gets the most traffic, I restart the bot and make it focus on that.

It creates 5 videos per day, per device, so 25 videos generated a day. I could post 28 videos per device, per day (140 videos), but apparently, social platforms don't like the flooding of content, or they start to suppress the views. So I decided 5 videos per day, per device, is more than gold.

Scale: Currently automating 5 Android devices via device detection, but the code can scale to 100+ instantly if I plug them in

Titles, description, and hashtag discovery has its own set of instructions. the language is python, works great for me, but i'm working on compiling to exe to give it a gui. which you can see in the photos. the py version obv just looks like a bunch of code.
