yt-concate-py is a Python app to produce a consolidated video by concatenating YouTube video clips that mention a specific word from user's input.

YouTube is the largest and the most popular video-sharing platform.
As a YouTube user and a python programmer, I was building something related to my interest with a tutorial, then yt-concate-py was born.
With this app, you can easily extract and concatenate video clips by a topic word that interested you the most from a YouTube channel.

For example, these are screenshots of the output video that concatenates video clips mentioned "taiwan" from the YouTube channel of 莫彩曦Hailey.

• supports in all languages
  (As long as the language for a word is the same as the language for the first subtitle option of a video)
• supports for customizing the number of clips to be concatenated
  (Default number: 10)
