Before step 1
you will need
- ffmpeg and ffprobe installed locally
- An LLM API key for scripting
- A TTS API key, or a local TTS model
- A stock footage API key, or your own clip library
- whisper.cpp or a transcription API for word-level caption timings
- Disk space and patience for render queues
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Reel Farm. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- Scheduled auto-posting to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, which is the part that needs approved platform apps
- Hosted rendering, so long batches tie up your own machine
- Curated templates and caption styles that already look native to each platform
- Any built-in sense of what is performing, analytics loops and hook variants
- Someone else absorbing model and stock-footage cost changes
