Auto Vid Compiler

Drop in a folder of clips and get one finished highlight reel. The app trims the last few seconds from each clip, prepends your intro, layers background music, and exports a single YouTube-ready video - no editing timeline required.

The actual compile interface

Folder picker, trim-length slider, intro and music dropdowns, and a one-click compile button — captured from the packaged Windows build, not a marketing mockup.

  • Portable .exe with bundled FFmpeg
  • 20 free compiles, then credit packs or monthly access
  • SHA256 checksum published with each release
Auto Vid Compiler GUI
Desktop GUI Auto Vid Compiler — folder pick, trim length, intro/music, and compile controls from the shipped .exe UI.
Portable

Runs as a standalone .exe - FFmpeg is bundled. No Python or additional installs required on the target machine.

Clip-aware

Processes each video file in the selected folder individually, then stitches everything into one seamless output.

Configurable

Set trim length (5–30 seconds per clip), select your intro file, choose a background music track per session.

Low Cost

Includes 20 free compile uses. After the trial, Stripe-backed options are $5 for 5 credits, $10 for 12 credits, or $10/mo unlimited.

What It Does

A focused automation pipeline - no general-purpose editor, just the one job it was built to do.

Folder-Based Input

Point the app at a folder of clips. It picks up supported video files without depending on a specific filename pattern.

Auto-Trim Endings

Extract the last 5–30 seconds from each clip. Works for gaming highlights, event recordings, or any footage where endings are the payoff.

Intro Prepend

Add intro videos or GIFs from the GUI. The compiler automatically stitches the selected intro to the front of the final output.

Background Music

Add MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, or AAC tracks and mix one under the compiled video while preserving original clip audio.

Two Ways To Get It Running

Most people should grab the packaged release. Running from source is there for anyone who wants to read or modify the code first.

Release Build (recommended)

Download the packaged executable from GitHub Releases and extract the full folder. This is the path most creators should use — no Python setup required.

Run From Source

Clone the repository, run pip install -r requirements.txt, then launch python UOVidCompiler_GUI.py. Useful for developers who want to inspect or extend the pipeline.

Best fit: quick-capture highlight clips

The current workflow is well suited to short clips from Xbox Game Bar’s “Record That” or similar quick-capture tools — not long, unedited recordings.

Unsigned executable, checksum provided

The release is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen or your browser may show a warning on first download. Each release ships a SHA256 checksum in the notes so you can verify the file before running it.

Important Setup Note

The .exe must run alongside its bundled folders.

This is a portable-style distribution - the executable expects to find its companion folders (FFmpeg, intros, music, icons) in the same directory. Keep the release folder together so the app can find its assets.

Tech Stack

  • Python - core process and GUI logic
  • FFmpeg - video trimming, concat, and audio mix
  • PyInstaller - packaged into a standalone Windows .exe
  • Stripe Checkout - low-cost compile credits after the trial

Best Fit For

  • Gaming clip highlight reels (the original use case)
  • Content creators who batch-process short recordings
  • Anyone who needs the same repeatable compile workflow run often

Quick Start

Download, extract, drop in your files, and run.

01

Download the release

Grab the .exe from the GitHub Releases page. Extract everything - keep all bundled folders together in one directory.

02

Add your intros and music

Use the app's Add Intro/GIF and Add Music controls, or place files directly into the bundled intros/ and music/ folders.

03

Point it at your clips folder

Run the .exe and select the folder containing your source clips. Set the trim length and choose newest-first, oldest-first, filename, or custom clip order.

04

Export and upload

Hit compile. The app processes each clip in sequence and delivers one finished .mp4 ready for YouTube.

Release History Highlights

Selected highlights from the GitHub release history — the project has kept shipping fixes and small features since the initial stable release.

Recent

Intro timing and clip player fixes

Gameplay clips now start when the intro template animation ends rather than when a long sound effect finishes, with the sound effect carrying over into the first clips. The clip player also gained double-click-to-play thumbnails with a seek bar.

Reliability

Shutdown, single-instance, and diagnostics work

Fixes across recent releases cover the app closing reliably from the X button or Alt+F4, a single-instance guard so copies don’t stack in Task Manager, and persistent diagnostic logs written to AppData for troubleshooting.

v1.0.0

Initial stable release

The first packaged, stable Windows build of the compiler.

Full Release History on GitHub

Known Limitations

Worth knowing before you download, so this fits the job you actually have.

Windows only

This is a Windows desktop app. There is no macOS or Linux build.

One trim rule for the whole batch

Trim length applies to every clip in the folder for that run — it is not a per-clip timeline editor.

Portable build must stay together

The .exe expects its bundled ffmpeg/, intros/, and music/ folders in the same directory. Moving just the executable will break it.

Ranked formats, captions, custom overlays, and a browser UI live in the evolved sibling app, VideoForge Studio, not in this focused compiler.

Auto Vid Compiler FAQ

Common questions before downloading the compiler.

What kind of clips is this actually built for?

Short, quick-capture recordings — the kind you get from Xbox Game Bar’s “Record That” or similar tools. It trims the end of each clip and stitches them together, so long unedited footage isn’t the intended input.

Do I need Python installed to use it?

No, not for the packaged release build — FFmpeg is bundled and the app runs as a standalone .exe. Python is only needed if you choose to run the project from source.

Why does Windows show a warning when I download it?

The executable isn’t code-signed yet, so SmartScreen or your browser may flag it as unrecognized. Each release includes a SHA256 checksum in the notes so you can verify the download before running it.

What happens to my credits if a compile fails or I stop it?

A credit is only used after a successful compile. Stopping a run or a failed compile does not consume a trial use or a paid credit.

Distribution
