One person built a movie from a novel using only a 16GB GPU

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created iTube, a pipeline that turns entire novels into narrated, lip-synced videos using FLUX, Wan2.2, MuseTalk, PuLID, and edge-tts. Running locally on a single RTX 4060Ti with 16GB VRAM, it generates consistent character faces across scenes. The key insight is that audio length dictates scene duration, not the other way around.

Meridian48 take
The pipeline is a clever hack of existing open-source models, but scaling beyond a single GPU and avoiding motion artifacts remains a challenge for practical use.
