About This File
If you've followed the razorwire videos or other guides to manually create VotW mods, you know that it is time consuming and monotonous. AutoVideo is a program that automatically creates the entire VotW mod from scratch with esp, textures, sounds and meshes. For novice users up to 10 videos per esp.
Â
For intermediate users that know how to use FO4Edit you can have AutoVideo generate a script to go over the 10 videos limit, or just to add new videos to any other VotW esp.
Â
Installation:
Extract the exe from the zip wherever you want. THIS IS NOT A FALLOUT 4 MOD, THIS IS A STANDALONE EXECUTABLE.
Â
IMPORTANT! For this to work you need to have ffmpeg installed: https://www.ffmpeg.org/
For windows 10/11, try installing ffmpeg by typing "winget install ffmpeg" into the command prompt (cmd). If this does not work or you are on an older(??) version of windows, look up on google how to properly install ffmpeg.
Â
This is a CLI application, so you need to use the command prompt to use it. To get started, open cmd in the same folder as autovideo.exe and type the following:
"autovideo -i YourVideo.mp4 -n YourVideoName YourModName"
and see what the output gives you.
Â
For more options and information, use "autovideo --help".

Is this a virus?
It is dangerous to run random executables from random people online. All I can tell you is that this is not a virus and give you this virus scan as proof:
My own anti-virus is not bothered by autovideo.exe but yours might be. If your windows SmartScreen or maybe anti-virus gives you a popup that autovideo may be malicious, this is because the executable is unsigned and thus not trusted by windows. Signing an executable costs money and I'm not willing to spend that.
