Content creators spend hours manually creating optimized titles, descriptions, and other text content from their videos for different platforms like YouTube.
This required a solution capable of:
Processing video files without server uploads for privacy/speed.
Converting videos to audio format for transcription.
Generating accurate transcriptions from audio content.
Creating platform-optimized content using customizable AI prompts.
Providing real-time feedback during processing stages.
⨠The Solution
I architected a full-stack application that processes videos entirely in the browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly, then leverages OpenAI's APIs for intelligent content generation.

š ļø Deep Dive
The frontend handles video processing entirely client-side using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, converting MP4 videos to optimized MP3 audio files. This approach ensures user privacy and reduces server load.
The conversion triggers a secure upload to the Fastify backend, where OpenAI Whisper generates accurate transcriptions. Users can then apply customizable prompt templates that inject the transcription content into GPT-3.5 Turbo requests.
The AI responses stream back in real-time, providing immediate feedback. The system includes pre-built templates for YouTube titles and descriptions, but supports fully customizable prompts for any content generation need.
Built with modern tech: React/TypeScript frontend with Tailwind CSS and Radix UI components, Node.js backend with Fastify for performance, Prisma ORM with SQLite for data persistence, and comprehensive Zod validation throughout.
š The Outcome
The application successfully delivers a seamless content creation workflow that transforms hours of manual work into minutes of automated processing:
ā Browser-based video processing with FFmpeg WebAssembly for instant conversions.
ā High-accuracy transcriptions using OpenAI Whisper with custom prompt support.
ā Real-time AI content generation with streaming responses for immediate feedback.
ā Fully customizable prompt templates for any content type or platform.
ā Modern, responsive UI with intuitive drag-and-drop video upload.
ā Scalable architecture supporting temperature control and multiple AI models.
