Overview

Vidsyncro is a serverless video publishing platform which takes videos as input and produces production grade assets like subtitles, transcoded dash package. It also generates suitable title, description and social media post.

• Collaborative platform for editors and creators
• Automated production pipelines (transcoding, subtitle generation, thumbnail generation)
• Secure management and API services
• Social integrations for direct uploads to platforms like YouTube
• Optimized review process using EDLs and other short formats

Architecture

Tech Stack

• AWS Lambda
• Node.js
• AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model)
• AWS S3
• AWS Fargate

Challenges

• Handling EDLs when folder structures or assets are modified
• Competition with existing services like Vimeo, Frame.io
• Synchronizing local and cloud storage

Getting Started

Follow these instructions to set up and run the project locally.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• AWS SAM CLI
• Docker

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/nikhil-babar/vidsyncro-backend.git
   cd vidsyncro-backend

2. Build the project:

   sam build

3. Run the API locally:

   sam local start-api

4. Create AWS resources:

   • ECS Cluster: Create an ECS Cluster through the AWS Management Console or using AWS CLI.

   • S3 Bucket: Create an S3 bucket through the AWS Management Console or using AWS CLI.

5. Configure SAM and environment variables:

   Update the SAM configuration file and environment variables with your AWS credentials, ARNs, and resource names.

   Example for .env:

        SECRET_KEY: <YOUR_SECRET_KEY>
        REGION: <YOUR_REGION>
        SNS_TOPIC: arn:aws:sns:<YOUR_REGION>:<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>:<YOUR_SNS_TOPIC_NAME>
        CLUSTER: <YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME>
        CLUSTER_SUBNET: <YOUR_CLUSTER_SUBNET_ID>
        CLUSTER_SECURITY_GROUP: <YOUR_SECURITY_GROUP_ID>
        VIDEO_BUCKET: <YOUR_VIDEO_BUCKET_NAME>
        URL_EXPIRATION_SECONDS: <YOUR_URL_EXPIRATION_SECONDS>
        MONGO_URL: <YOUR_MONGO_URL>
        MONGO_DB_NAME: <YOUR_MONGO_DB_NAME>
        API_GATEWAY_URL: <YOUR_API_GATEWAY_URL>
        FRONTEND_END: <YOUR_FRONTEND_END_URL>
        SES_IDENTITY_ARN: arn:aws:ses:<YOUR_REGION>:<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>:identity/<YOUR_SES_IDENTITY>
        EMAIL: <YOUR_EMAIL>
        ASSEMBLY_API_KEY: <YOUR_ASSEMBLY_API_KEY>
        HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY: <YOUR_HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY>
        GEMINI_API_KEY: <YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY>
        GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID: <YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID>

6. Start the API locally again (if necessary):

   sam local start-api

7. Test API endpoints:

   Use tools like Postman or cURL to test the API endpoints and verify the integration with MongoDB.
