The #1 open-source AI video generator in the world

Setup, then your first video

1. Windows, macOS or Linux — ~5GB free disk
2. Install uv
3. Clone the repository
4. Install Python 3.11 + deps — uv sync --frozen
5. Get the free API keys — an LLM + Pexels
6. Configure config.toml — keys and voice
7. How do you want to drive it?

MoneyPrinterTurbo is a free, open-source AI tool that automatically generates complete short videos from just a topic or keyword. You type in what you want — and it does everything:

• Writes the video script using AI (Google Gemini, GPT, Claude, etc.)
• Finds matching HD stock footage automatically (Pexels, Pixabay)
• Generates a natural AI voiceover in 100+ languages
• Burns in subtitles with custom fonts and colors
• Adds background music

The final video is ready to upload directly to Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or TikTok. **No editing skills needed.**

⭐ Why this tool? MoneyPrinterTurbo is an open-source video-generation workflow. Check the linked repository for its current license and supported integrations. Provider usage, stock-media terms and hardware costs can apply; this guide does not claim unlimited free generation or a verified popularity ranking.

Before You Start

Everything you need to set up (all free)

You need

• Windows 10/11, Mac, or Linux
• Internet connection
• ~15 minutes of your time

Free API keys (we'll get these in Step 4)

• Google Gemini — AI scripts
• Pexels — stock footage

1. Install uv

Fast Python package manager — handles everything automatically

Open PowerShell (press `Win + X`, then click "Terminal") and paste this command:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

After it finishes, close the terminal and open a new one. Verify it installed:

uv --version

You should see a version number. If not, restart your computer and try again.

🍎 Mac / Linux Run `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh` instead.

2. Clone the Repository

Download the MoneyPrinterTurbo project to your computer

Run these commands one by one in your terminal:

cd D:\Downloads
git clone https://github.com/harry0703/MoneyPrinterTurbo.git
cd MoneyPrinterTurbo

⚠️ Don't have Git? Download it from [git-scm.com/downloads](https://git-scm.com/downloads) — install with all default options.

3. Install Python & Dependencies

One command installs everything you need

Still inside the `MoneyPrinterTurbo` folder, run:

uv python install 3.11
uv sync --frozen

This installs Python 3.11 and all required packages. A `.venv` folder will appear — that's normal. Takes 2–3 minutes the first time.

4. Get Free API Keys

Two free keys — takes 2 minutes each

4A · Google Gemini API Key (FREE) Powers the AI script writing.

1. Go to [aistudio.google.com/apikey](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey)
2. Sign in with your Google account
3. Click "Create API Key"
4. Select any Google Cloud project (or create one)
5. Copy the key — it starts with `AIza...`
6. Save it somewhere safe

4B · Pexels API Key (FREE) Provides the HD stock footage.

1. Go to [pexels.com/api](https://www.pexels.com/api/)
2. Create a free account
3. Click "Your API Key" in your dashboard
4. Copy the API key
5. Save it somewhere safe

5. Configure config.toml

The most important step — set your API keys and preferences

Open `config.toml` in the MoneyPrinterTurbo folder with any text editor (Notepad works). Find and change these settings:

💡 Pro Tip For a Hindi male voice, change `voice_name` to `"hi-IN-MadhurNeural"`. See the voice table further down for more options.

6. Start the WebUI

Launch the visual interface in your browser

Run this command (make sure you're in the MoneyPrinterTurbo folder):

uv run streamlit run webui/Main.py --browser.gatherUsageStats=False

A browser tab will open at `http://127.0.0.1:8501`

🔗 Doesn't open? Manually open your browser and go to `http://127.0.0.1:8501`

7. Generate Your First Video

Type a topic and click generate — that's it!

1. In the "Video Subject" field, type your topic — e.g. *"Top 5 AI tools that will change 2026"*
2. Select your language, voice, and other settings
3. Click "Generate Video"
4. Wait 3–5 minutes while AI creates your video
5. Video is saved automatically!

Output location `storage/tasks/[task-id]/final-1.mp4`

8. CLI Alternative

If the WebUI button doesn't respond, use this instead

Copy and paste this full command:

uv run python cli.py \
  --video-subject "Top 5 AI tools in 2026" \
  --video-language "en" \
  --voice-name "en-AU-NatashaNeural-Female" \
  --video-source pexels \
  --video-aspect "9:16" \
  --video-count 1 \
  --video-concat-mode random \
  --subtitle-enabled \
  --font-name "MicrosoftYaHeiBold.ttc" \
  --text-fore-color "#FFFFFF" \
  --font-size 60 \
  --stroke-color "#000000" \
  --stroke-width 1.5 \
  --bgm-type random \
  --bgm-volume 0.2

🖥️ Windows CMD users Replace the `\` at the end of each line with `^`, or put everything on one single line.

Voice Options

Popular voices you can use — change voice_name in config.toml

Troubleshooting

Common issues and their fixes

"moov atom not found" error

Video generation was interrupted. Simply re-run the generate command — it will create a fresh video.

WinError 32 (file locked)

The video may actually be complete. Check `final-1.mp4` — if it's larger than 10MB, try playing it. It's probably fine.

Unicode encoding errors in terminal

Harmless Windows console display issue. Doesn't affect video generation at all — ignore it.

WebUI button not responding

Streamlit sometimes has click issues. Use the CLI method (Step 8) instead — it's more reliable.

Video has no audio

Make sure your internet is stable. AI voiceover is generated online via Microsoft Edge TTS. If the connection drops during generation, audio may fail.
