How it works

1. Creates a video script from the topic provided (or uses provided script)
2. Splits the script into "text lines" (paragraphs and headings)
3. Creates a text-to-speech MP3 for each text line
4. Creates an image for each text line (if heading, text shown in image)
5. Creates a video for each text line (using the MP3 and image)
6. Concatenates all the videos into a single video
