Getting Started

This section gets the local environment ready and runs the first video through the pipeline.

Requirements

  • Python 3.13+
  • Poetry
  • FFmpeg and FFprobe
  • NVIDIA GPU with CUDA available in WSL2/Linux
  • Ollama running locally at localhost:11434

Short path

poetry install
ollama pull mistral-small
make check-env
poetry run python -m shortificator --input my_video.mp4

The legacy entrypoint still works:

poetry run python shorts_factory.py --input my_video.mp4

Both commands call the same CLI.
