# Vidsmith

> Desktop studio for YouTube videos — faceless illustrated scenes or real AI video clips. Site: https://vidsmith.in

Vidsmith is a macOS desktop app (Windows and Linux coming soon). It is not a hosted SaaS. The UI is a Tauri window. A local API on 127.0.0.1:8780 runs the pipeline. Data and models stay on the user's machine. Keys are saved in Settings and encrypted. The landing page is written for a general audience; this file is for agents.

## What it does

Create a channel (niche, visual style, voice, faceless or real-video mode). Research topics and save them. Generate a long video or a short: spoken script, voiceover, timestamps, then either illustrated scene images (faceless) or cinematic AI clips (real video). Assemble the finished file and a YouTube publish pack (titles, description, tags, chapters). Connect YouTube, Instagram, and X with OAuth and upload a ready video.

## Pipeline

1. Research topics for a channel
2. Write script
3. Synthesize voiceover
4. Timestamp the audio
5. Scene images (faceless) or cinematic clips (real video), plus thumbnail
6. Assemble the video
7. Publish pack
8. Optional live upload to YouTube, Instagram Reels, or X
