Turning entire novels into narrated, lip-synced, motion video — locally, on a single 16GB GPU, with FLUX, Wan2.2, PuLID, MuseTalk, and ComfyUI.
There's an old line: a picture is worth a thousand words. I'd extend it — a video is worth a thousand pictures. So I spent the last few months testing that idea the hard way: I built a pipeline that turns an entire novel into a narrated, lip-synced, motion video. Feed it Pride and Prejudice, or a 400-year-old tale from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (聊斋志异), and out comes a finished film with consistent character faces across a hundred-plus scenes.
One person. One RTX 4060Ti with 16GB of VRAM. Everything local, no cloud inference.
I called it iTube. And honestly — the videos came out better than I expected. Watching a novel you know become a moving, voiced, paced thing is a genuinely different experience from reading a summary of it. That's the bet: that video is a better medium for conveying a story than text is, and the finished clips have mostly convinced me the bet was right.
