SwapTube is a C++ framework for programmatically rendering YouTube videos, built on FFMPEG with custom graphics code above the encoding layer. It requires a CUDA or HIP-compatible GPU and supports in-video LaTeX rendering via MicroTeX.

Use cases

  • render animated youtube videos programmatically
  • create math explainer videos with latex equations
  • generate videos from code instead of a video editor
  • render video frames with gpu acceleration
  • build custom animation scenes for educational videos

When to choose

  • you want code-driven video generation on linux with an nvidia or amd gpu
  • you need in-video latex equation rendering
  • you want full low-level control over the render pipeline beyond ffmpeg

When to avoid

  • you need a supported build on macos or windows
  • you lack a cuda or hip-compatible gpu
  • you want a gui video editor rather than a code framework
