Quick Basic Info:

Automatically convert your audio files into YouTube-ready videos by pairing them with static images! Perfect for turning podcasts, audio episodes, or music tracks into video format in bulk.

Simply match your audio files with corresponding images, and let the program handle the rest. Ideal for content creators who need to process multiple audio files without the hassle of manual video editing.

Works on Windows 7 and above.

Python script included too so you can use it on Linux and Mac too if you have python installed on it. (I don't have those systems so I can't test it, but make sure to install dependencies the script needs).

# Bulk Image and Audio Merger

A simple utility that automatically creates videos by pairing image files with audio files. Perfect for converting audio content like podcasts into a video format suitable for platforms like YouTube, especially when dealing with multiple files.

## Purpose

This tool was designed to simplify the process of converting audio files (like podcasts) into videos by automatically pairing them with static images you've prepared. Instead of manually creating each video, you can process multiple files at once and let the program handle the conversion automatically. Even if its 100s or 1000s of podcasts or audio mixes you want to youtubify.

## Key Features

- Bulk processing of multiple image-audio pairs
- Automatic matching of files based on filename, alphabetically
- Supports common image formats (JPG, JPEG, PNG)
- Supports common audio formats (MP3, WAV)
- Creates video files ready for YouTube upload
- Maintains audio quality while minimizing file size

## How to Use

1. Create a folder named `audio_n_video_go_here` in the same location as the program if it isn't there already (it should be).

2. Place your audio files and corresponding images in this folder. Just dump them all there.

3. Make sure each image file has the exact same name as its corresponding audio file (only the extension should be different).   

   Example:

   PodcastEpisode1.mp3
   PodcastEpisode1.jpg
   MusicMegaMix2.mp3
   MusicMegaMix2.jpg

4. Run the program. Be mindful its slow to boot up, it'll take about 1-3 minutes before its ready to go. This is normal. Has to do with needing to bundle ffmpeg with this program to make it work. Once operational though it works fast so don't worry.

5. Review the processing queue if its as you expect it and confirm to start by typing 'y' and pressing enter.

6. Wait for processing to complete.

7. Find your finished videos in the `output_videos` folder.

## Tips

- The program creates videos at 360p resolution while maintaining the image's aspect ratio.
- Output files will be MP4 format, suitable for YouTube upload.
- Processing time depends on your computer's capabilities and the number/length of files.
- The program can handle multiple files simultaneously to speed up processing.

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

- Ensure your image and audio files have exactly matching names. You can use a combination of Advanced Renamer, Notepad++ and "Shift+Right-Click > Copy Path" of selected files in File Explorer to rename hundreds or thousands of files way faster.
- Check that your files are in the correct folder. Make sure there's an equal amount of images vs audio files.
- Verify that your files are in supported formats. You can have a mix of JPG/PNG and a mix of MP3/WAV, the program can handle it fine.
- Make sure you have enough disk space for the output videos. Videos usually have a big filesize.

## Technical Notes

- Videos are created using H.264 video codec and AAC audio codec.
- The program uses multi-threading to optimize processing speed.
- Original audio quality is preserved in the output video.
