LazyCut v2.0

LazyCut is an automated video editing tool that uses AI to create professional clips from raw footage.

Features

• AI Editing: Uses Gemini 2.5 Pro to curate narratives.
• Auto-Captions: "Hormozi-style" animated captions.
• Smart B-Roll: Context-aware B-roll injection.
• Cross-Platform: Runs on Windows and Linux.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/HarperKollins/LazyCut.git
   cd LazyCut

2. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Install ImageMagick (Required for Captions):

   • Windows: Download and install from ImageMagick.org. Ensure magick.exe is in your PATH.
   • Linux: sudo apt-get install imagemagick

4. Setup API Keys:

   • Create a .env file in the root directory:

     GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
     

Usage

Run the GUI application:

python app.py

1. Select your input folder containing .mp4 files.
2. Toggle "Pro Captions" and "Smart B-Roll" as desired.
3. Click START PROCESSING.
4. The final video will be saved in the input folder as FINAL_HUMAN_EDIT.mp4.

Troubleshooting

• ImageMagick Error: Ensure ImageMagick is installed and accessible. On Linux, you might need to edit /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml to allow PDF/Text operations if restricted.
• FFmpeg Error: moviepy should install a binary, but if it fails, install ffmpeg system-wide.
