Turn a README into a YouTube Short

Point ReelMint at your project's README and get a script grounded in what the project actually does — then editable scenes: the install command as an animated terminal, the API example as a code card, the architecture as a diagram.

ReelMint planning step turning project documentation into a scene-by-scene Short script

How it works

From repo to Short

The README is already the script outline — ReelMint does the rest.

GroundPaste the README or add your docs to the project's knowledge base. The script is grounded in your material — real commands and real API names, not generic AI filler.

ScenesEach line becomes a scene that fits it: the install step as a typed terminal animation, the quickstart as a syntax-highlighted code card, the feature list as a diagram.

NarrationChoose one of 24+ voices with in-app previews, or record your own take. Every scene is duration-synced to the narration automatically.

PublishOne click to YouTube with an AI title and description and an auto thumbnail — or schedule it for launch day.

Included

What you get

A Short that looks like your project, because it is your project.

Grounded in your docs

Scripts draw on your knowledge base — README, API docs, past scripts — so the Short says what the repo actually says.

Terminals and code, not b-roll

No stock footage of hands typing. Your install command animates in a terminal component; your usage example renders as a real code card.

Update when the repo updates

Scenes stay editable. When the install flag changes or the API is renamed, edit the scene text and re-render — no re-recording.

Launch-day scheduling

Publish straight to YouTube or schedule the Short to go live with the release.

Automatable over MCP

Claude Code or Cursor can drive the pipeline through ReelMint's MCP server — useful when a Short per release is the goal.

Your keys, no markup

Bring your own Gemini, OpenAI, or ElevenLabs keys, encrypted at rest, billed by the provider. The pilot itself is free.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it just read the README aloud?

No. The README grounds the script; the AI writes a Short-length narrative from it — a hook, the problem, the install, the payoff — and you edit every line before scenes are made.

What happens to the code samples in my README?

They become syntax-highlighted code card scenes, sized for a phone screen. Commands become typed terminal animations. Both stay editable afterwards.

The project changed — do I remake the video?

No. Scenes are layered objects, not baked pixels. Update the command or snippet in the scene and re-render the reel.

Can I automate a Short per release?

ReelMint ships an MCP server, so an agent like Claude Code can script, compose, render, and publish with a scoped workspace token — you review the result on your channel.

What does it cost?

The pilot is free with no credit card and no watermarks. AI usage runs on your own keys with zero markup.
