One instruction. A short video, checked by you before it goes out.
Describe what the video should be about. Charka writes the script, speaks it, finds the pictures, adds the subtitles and renders the video. Then it waits for you. After you approve, it publishes to your own YouTube channel.
Charka is in private use at FOB Digital Labs. Signing in needs an approved email address. To ask for access, write to charka@fobdigitallabs.com.
Version 1.0, built and running. Made for Bengali first, works in English too.
From an instruction to a published video
Every video moves through the same steps, one after another. You see where each one is, and you can open any step to change it.
Script
Written for the project's topic and tone, in the language you choose. You can edit every line.
Voice
Spoken by an AI voice you pick, or by your own recording.
Pictures
Made by an AI image service, taken from free picture libraries, or uploaded by you.
Subtitles and video
The subtitles are burned in and the video is rendered with FFmpeg, with your logo, intro and outro if the project has them.
Quality checks
Charka checks length, sound, subtitles and rights before anything can be approved.
Your review
The step that waits for you. Watch the video, check the title and description, then approve it or send it back to any earlier step.
Publish and results
Published to your YouTube channel with title, description, hashtags and thumbnail. Charka then reads how the video is doing.
One workspace for a whole series
A project is a series of videos with one style. Projects on the left, the video being made in the middle, the calendar on the right. The assistant at the bottom takes plain instructions such as "plan the next 30 days, 2 a day".
You stay in charge
Nothing goes out unreviewed
Every video waits for your approval. You can switch a channel to automatic publishing, and then only videos that pass every check are published. The rest wait for you.
You choose the AI
Use cloud services or a model running on your own machine. Switching a service needs no change to Charka, only settings.
Spending has a ceiling
Daily and monthly limits, a cost estimate before paid work starts, and a switch that stops everything at once.
Your data stays with you
Sign-in tokens are stored encrypted, and videos are kept on the server that runs Charka. See the privacy policy.
