Show HN: AutoShorts – Local, GPU-accelerated AI video pipeline for creators

I built this because I was tired of "AI tools" that were just wrappers around expensive APIs with high latency. As a developer who lives in the terminal (Arch/Nushell), I wanted something that felt like a CLI tool and respected my hardware.

The Tech:

    GPU Heavy: It uses decord and PyTorch for scene analysis. I’m calculating action density and spectral flux locally to find hooks before hitting an LLM.

    Local Audio: I’m using ChatterBox locally for TTS to avoid recurring costs and privacy leaks.

    Rendering: Final assembly is offloaded to NVENC.
Looking for Collaborators: I’m currently looking for PRs specifically around:

    Intelligent Auto-Zoom: Using YOLO/RT-DETR to follow the action in a 9:16 crop.

    Voice Engine Upgrades: Moving toward ChatterBoxTurbo or NVIDIA's latest TTS.
It's fully dockerized, and also has a makefile. Would love some feedback on the pipeline architecture!

I don't get this reasoning. You were tired of LLM wrappers, but what is your tool? These two requirements (felt like a CLI and respects your hardware) do not line up.

Still a cool tool though! Although it seems partly AI generated.

I've started including a statement of AI usage in my docs.

HN is a niche audience but it seems like it's the first question everyone has when opening a repo.

Which is odd because the first question we should have is, does it work.

Personally I can't see myself ever writing the bulk of the README again, life's too short.

It looks like it’s written by a LLM

Wow, great job.

I did smth similar 4 years ago with YOLO ultralytics.

Back then I used chat messsges spike as one of several variables to detect highs and fails moments. It needed a lot a human validation but was so fun.

Keep going
