I’m honestly a bit giddy writing this. I’m a software engineer, not a video editor, and I wanted to run a faceless channel about Pakistan’s history and geography, so I built a pipeline that does the whole job. It writes the Urdu script, generates the narration, draws animated maps and infographic scenes in code, and renders the finished reel. It then sends me the reel in Slack, and all I do is approve it. Some numbers: Cost: about $0.11 per video. I tested a 2.5D workflow that came out at $15–40 per video, so I dropped it. Time: a few weeks of evenings and weekends, plus a fair bit of money on testing. This week: a reel about the Pakistan Steel Mill (shut since 2015) got 21.1k views, 898 likes and 45 shares in its first day. One video doesn’t make a channel, but it’s the first proof the system works. I’m happy to answer questions about the stack or the costs.
