# Video Generation API v1.0

[中文版](https://github.com/preangelleo/video-generation-docker/blob/main/README_CN.md) | [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/video-generation-api/)

🎬 A powerful Docker-based API for intelligent video generation with professional effects and subtitles.

## 📦 Installation

### Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended for Python users)

```bash
pip install video-generation-api
```

### Option 2: Docker (Recommended for production)

```bash
# Pull the Docker image
docker pull betashow/video-generation-api:latest

# Run the container
docker run -d \
  --name video-api \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  betashow/video-generation-api:latest
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Python Client (if installed via pip)

```python
from video_generation_api import VideoGenerationClient

# Initialize client
client = VideoGenerationClient("http://localhost:5000")

# Create video
result = client.create_video(
    image_path="image.jpg",
    audio_path="audio.mp3",
    subtitle_path="subtitles.srt",
    effects=["zoom_in"],
    output_path="output.mp4"
)
```

### API Server

If using Docker, the API will be available at `http://localhost:5000`.

If installed via pip, start the server with:

```bash
video-generation-api
```

        'background_opacity': 0.3           # 30% transparent (dark background)
    }
)
```

### Other Endpoints

#### Health Check
```bash
GET /health
```

Returns API status, FFmpeg version, and available endpoints.

#### Download Video
```bash
GET /download/{file_id}
```

Download the generated video file. Files expire after 1 hour.

#### Cleanup Expired Files
```bash
GET /cleanup
```

Manually trigger cleanup of expired files.

## 🔧 Authentication

The API supports two modes:

### Default Mode (No Authentication)
By default, the API is open and requires no authentication.

### Secure Mode
Set the `AUTHENTICATION_KEY` environment variable to enable authentication:

```bash
docker run -d \
  -e AUTHENTICATION_KEY=your-secure-uuid-here \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  betashow/video-generation-api:latest
```

Then include the key in your requests:
```python
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-Authentication-Key': 'your-secure-uuid-here'
}
```

## 🎯 Features

- **Intelligent Processing**: Automatically optimizes based on input parameters
- **Professional Subtitles**: High-quality subtitle rendering (not FFmpeg filters)
- **Auto-Orientation**: Detects portrait/landscape videos automatically
- **Cinematic Effects**: Hollywood-style zoom and pan effects
- **Multi-Language**: Supports Chinese and English with proper fonts
- **GPU Acceleration**: Automatic GPU detection and usage when available

## 🎨 Advanced Subtitle Styling

### Subtitle Background Transparency

⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: The `background_opacity` parameter controls **transparency**, not opacity!

| Value | Visual Result | Description |
|-------|--------------|-------------|
| **0.0** | Solid black | Completely opaque background |
| **0.2** | Dark background | **Default** - Good readability |
| **0.5** | Semi-transparent | 50% see-through |
| **0.7** | Very transparent | Old default - quite see-through |
| **1.0** | No background | Completely transparent |

**Examples**:
- For **darker, more readable** subtitles: Use **lower** values (0.0 - 0.3)
- For **more transparent** subtitles: Use **higher** values (0.5 - 1.0)
- Recommended: **0.2** (the new default) provides excellent readability

```python
# Dark, readable background (recommended)
'background_opacity': 0.2

# Solid black background
'background_opacity': 0.0

# Very transparent (hard to read)
'background_opacity': 0.8
```

### Color Format (ASS/SSA Style)
The `outline_color` parameter uses ASS subtitle format: `&HAABBGGRR` where:
- AA = Alpha (transparency): 00 = opaque, FF = transparent
- BB = Blue component (00-FF)
- GG = Green component (00-FF)  
- RR = Red component (00-FF)

**Common Colors**:
- `&H00000000` - Black (default)
- `&H00FFFFFF` - White
- `&H000000FF` - Red
- `&H0000FF00` - Green
- `&H00FF0000` - Blue
- `&H0000FFFF` - Yellow
- `&H00FF00FF` - Magenta

### Font Size Guidelines
If not specified, font size is auto-calculated based on video resolution:
- **1080p Landscape**: ~45px for Chinese, ~60px for English
- **1080p Portrait**: ~21px for Chinese, ~30px for English
- **4K Videos**: Proportionally larger

## 📋 Requirements

- Docker
- 2GB+ RAM (4GB recommended)
- 10GB+ free disk space
- GPU (optional, for faster processing)

## 🎬 Output Examples

**Chinese Example**:
[![Chinese Video Example](https://img.youtube.com/vi/WYFyUAk9F6k/maxresdefault.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYFyUAk9F6k)

**Features Demonstrated**:
- ✅ Professional subtitles with semi-transparent background
- ✅ Smooth zoom effects (Ken Burns effect)
- ✅ Perfect audio-visual synchronization
- ✅ High-quality 1080p video output
- ✅ Support for both English and Chinese

Both examples were generated using the "Full Featured" mode with subtitles and effects enabled.

## 🐳 Docker Image Details

The image includes:
- Ubuntu 22.04 base
- FFmpeg with GPU support
- Python 3.10
- Chinese fonts (LXGW WenKai Bold)
- All required video processing libraries

## 📝 Notes

- All file inputs must be Base64 encoded
- Generated videos expire after 1 hour
- The API returns relative download paths, not full URLs
- This is designed for on-demand, disposable container usage

## 🚨 Important

This Docker image is designed for temporary, on-demand usage. The container can be destroyed and recreated as needed - all paths are relative and no persistent storage is required.
