# Video-to-Ghibli Style Converter

A Gradio web application that transforms videos into Studio Ghibli-style animations using OpenAI's GPT-4o.

## Features

- Upload short videos for stylization
- Apply custom style prompts
- Secure API key handling (user provides their own key)
- Real-time conversion status updates

## How It Works

1. Upload a short video (a few seconds is best)
2. Enter your OpenAI API key
3. Customize the style prompt if desired
4. Click "Stylize Video" and wait for processing

The application:
- Extracts frames from the video
- Uses GPT-4o to analyze and transform each frame to Ghibli style
- Reassembles the stylized frames into a new video

## Local Setup

1. Create a virtual environment:
   ```
   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   ```

2. Install dependencies:
   ```
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

3. Make sure ffmpeg is installed on your system:
   - macOS: `brew install ffmpeg`
   - Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install ffmpeg`
   - Windows: Download from [ffmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)

4. Run the application:
   ```
   python app.py
   ```

## Notes

- You need your own OpenAI API key with access to GPT-4o
- Processing time depends on video length and frame rate
- For best results, use videos that are a few seconds long
