MoneyPrinterTurbo: من موضوع واحد إلى فيديو قصير جاهز، خطوة بخطوةMoneyPrinterTurbo: From One Topic to a Finished Short Video, Step by Step

MoneyPrinterTurbo is a free, open-source tool (MIT license) that takes a topic or keyword and writes the script, matches footage, records the voiceover, adds subtitles and music, and outputs a short video. This guide covers what you need first, three ways to install it, and your first video. Everything is from the project's official GitHub page (checked 30 Oct 2026).

Who this guide is for

Creators and business owners who want short videos fast, even without coding experience

Key terms

Open source
The code is public on GitHub and free to use and modify under the MIT license.
API key
A secret token from a service (like Pexels or an AI provider) that lets the tool use it on your behalf.
Pexels
A free stock footage site. The tool pulls footage from it by default and needs a free key.
Edge TTS
A text-to-speech service. Per the project page, free and needs no key.
Skill
An instruction file an AI agent (like Claude Code) reads to install and run the tool by itself.

The steps

  1. Step 1

    Get the two keys first

    The tool is free, but it needs two services:

    1. Footage: by default it uses Pexels. Register at pexels.com/api for a free key. 2. Script: you need an AI provider. It supports many (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi and more), each with its own key. To keep everything local, use Ollama with a local model.

    Voice: the Edge TTS option is free with no key.

    Tip: Never share your keys. Put them only in the tool's settings.

  2. Step 2

    The easiest way: let an AI agent install it

    The project ships an official Skill file. If you have an agent that can read Skill files and run commands on your machine (like Claude Code), send it the message below. It installs and configures the tool, generates the video, and only asks for missing keys.

    Per the project page, this currently works on macOS and Windows.

    PromptSend this to your agent
    Use this Skill: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/harry0703/MoneyPrinterTurbo/main/docs/skill/SKILL.md
    Create a video with the topic "[your topic here]".

    Tip: Read the commands the agent proposes before you approve them.

  3. Step 3

    Or install it yourself with two commands

    You need Python 3.11 or later. Create a virtual environment, then:

    python -m pip install mpt mpt webui

    The official package is mpt. Note: the package named MoneyPrinterTurbo on PyPI is maintained by a third party.

    Windows users also get a one-click package (.7z) from Releases: run update.bat, then start.bat.

    Tip: Minimum per the page: 4 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, no GPU required.

  4. Step 4

    Add your keys in settings

    When the WebUI opens, go to the basic settings and add your Pexels key and your AI provider key. The tool saves them in config.toml on your machine.

  5. Step 5

    First video: topic, format, voice

    Type the topic and pick the format: portrait 9:16 for Reels, landscape 16:9 for YouTube, or square 1:1. Pick a voice (free Edge TTS is fine to start), the subtitle style, and generate.

    Want options? Raise the video count and it produces several variants in one batch so you can pick the best.

    PromptA clear topic makes a better video
    Write 5 short-video topics about [your field], each one clear sentence, suited to a 30-second video with general free stock footage.
  6. Step 6

    Review before you post

    The tool does the heavy lifting; the review is yours:

    • Read the script and check every number or claim. • The project page says some default music comes from YouTube videos and should be deleted if there are copyright issues. Safest: use your own music or none. • Check the footage fits your topic before posting.

    Tip: You can give it your own finished script instead of letting it write one.

Ready prompts to copy

PromptA ready script in your dialect
Write a 30-second short-video script about [topic] in [dialect], 6 short sentences, a strong first line, and no numbers you can't verify.
PromptFootage search terms
Here is my script: [script]. Suggest two English search terms per sentence that fit free stock footage.

The takeaway

The tool is free, but footage and scripts need keys. Get them first, let an agent like Claude Code install it, and review every video before you post.
