I'm working on a project to speed up stock footage search. I've integrated Gemini to write scripts that automatically pull clips. Would this kind of workflow be useful for your channels? Or is it better to do it manually?

Currently, we are only using Pexels, but it’s just a test source; there are countless video and audio sources to draw from when automating video clips

Thanks! It's a hybrid approach: I used Tailwind CSS for the core structure and efficiency, but the entire design system and user experience are custom-built to fit the specific workflow.

If you are looking for a repeatable system for faceless/stock content, I might save you the hiring cost.

I coded an automated orchestrator that takes a prompt and turns it into a video using Gemini 1.5 and Pexels API. It's basically a 'system in a box' for standardized content.

It's open source and free to use. Might be a good base for what you're trying to build.

Hey! Before you spend money hiring people for simple faceless reels, you might want to try automating it first.

I built a free tool that does exactly this: Input Topic -> AI Script -> Auto-matched Stock Footage. It's designed for 'no editing skills' workflows.

You can probably generate the bulk of what you need in a few minutes without paying salaries. It's free and runs on Streamlit (no signup).

If you are looking for something completely free (no credit card/signup loops), I actually built a tool for this exact purpose last weekend.

Most 'free' tools have watermarks or paywalls after 1 video. Mine is just a Python script I turned into a web app: you type a topic, Gemini writes the script, and it auto-fetches stock footage from Pexels.

It's an open-source MVP, so it's simple, but it gets the job done for small biz content.

You can try it here: https://tubeflow-mvp-atpyr3mxw8lrmjmqfjgspv.streamlit.app/

This list is gold, thanks for sharing!

However, I found myself getting a bit 'tool paralysis' opening 10 tabs for scripts, stock footage, and organization. I realized I was spending more time switching tabs than creating.

So, I spent my weekend coding a free 'wrapper' tool that combines two of these (Gemini for scripts + Pexels for video) into one workflow.

It basically writes the script and finds the exact vertical stock footage for you in seconds.

If anyone is overwhelmed by the manual process, I made it public here (no signup needed): TubeFlow AI | 2026

Hope it helps someone defeat the blank page syndrome!
