Pixelle-Video is an open-source platform that automates the entire short video creation pipeline — from topic input to finished video. No editing experience needed. Input a topic, and it handles scriptwriting, visual planning, image/video generation, TTS narration, and final composition automatically. With ~6.9k GitHub stars and growing, it’s one of the most popular AI video automation tools.

↓
Image/Video Creation (AI-generated assets)
↓
Audio Synthesis (multi-language TTS)
↓
Composition (assembly + background music + styling)
↓
Final Video Output (vertical / horizontal / custom aspect)
