Running on Mac and Windows

The book and library document both operating systems. Mac is the default path I use daily; Windows has a full Chapter 4B + this guide so you are not stuck.

Mac

MLX Chatterbox

PDF main chapters · factory ./start.command

Windows

Chapter 4B voice

Coqui XTTS / edge-tts · factory node runner.mjs

Honest constraint: Mac default voice is Chatterbox via Apple MLX. That path does not run on Windows. You swap the voice generator only — then use the same audio chain + HyperFrames. Reel quality can match; clone model is different.

What stays the same

  • Node + npx hyperframes (compose / render)
  • ffmpeg polish chain (Chapter 5)
  • Whisper captions via HyperFrames
  • Output: mono 24 kHz WAVs into the composition
  • Factory: node runner.mjs → http://localhost:4300

Install shared tools (Windows)

  1. Node.js LTS from nodejs.org
  2. ffmpeg — winget install ffmpeg or static build on PATH
  3. Python 3.11+ (add to PATH)
  4. Project folder e.g. C:\Users\YOU\video-pipeline\

Path A — local clone (recommended)

Coqui XTTS v2 (PyTorch CPU or NVIDIA CUDA). Closest free “my voice from a reference WAV” option on Windows.

cd C:\Users\YOU\video-pipeline
python -m venv .voice-clone-venv
.\.voice-clone-venv\Scripts\activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install TTS torch torchaudio

Generate each line to WAV, then run the Chapter 5 ffmpeg chain. Full snippet: PDF Chapter 4B.

Path B — free non-clone (fallback)

pip install edge-tts
edge-tts --voice en-US-GuyNeural --text "Your line." --write-media line01.mp3
ffmpeg -y -i line01.mp3 -ac 1 -ar 24000 line01_raw.wav
# then Chapter 5 audio chain → mono 24 kHz polished WAV

Not your voice — still fine for volume / faceless channels.

Path C — hosted clone

ElevenLabs (or similar) if Path A is too heavy. Paid. Still download lines → same ffmpeg chain → HyperFrames.

Factory on Windows

cd path\to\video-factory
node runner.mjs
# open http://localhost:4300/dashboard.html

Point voice scripts at .\\.voice-clone-venv\\Scripts\\python.exe instead of Mac mlx paths. Zip download is in your library if you bought the ₹499 tier.
