ThumbGenie

Thumbgenie will allow you to create custom YouTube thumbnails to use on your video, taking the title and category as inputs.

You can see some examples below:

How to use:

First, clone the repository locally

git clone https://github.com/DylanJTodd/ThumbGenie

Change into the directory created
```
cd ./ThumbGenie/
```
Next, pip install requirements.txt (Note, need python version 3.10+ )
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
If you want to train, then run preprocessing.py, followed by training.py. Ensure to tune the parameters such as epochs, batch size, resolution, etc, to your liking
```
python preprocessing.py
python training.py
```
Run thumbgenie.py to start generating custom images. Please note, this file does come with a pretrained model, however due to limited resources, it was not trained thoroughly. I would recommend anyone with the ability to do so, to train their own model.
```
python thumbgenie.py
```
