[Python] How to automate video creation and upload to YouTube using Canva templates and...

I’m working on automating a content creation pipeline for my monetized YouTube channel. I create simple videos using a fixed Canva template, and the video content is usually text-based and generated from tools like ChatGPT or DeepSeek.

I'm trying to build or use a system that can:

• Automatically generate text-based content using ChatGPT/DeepSeek APIs
• Insert that content into a pre-made Canva template (or replicate something similar programmatically)
• Render the video
• Upload the final video to YouTube using the YouTube Data API

My main questions:

1. Is there any way to automate Canva templates with text/image replacements through an API or third-party integration?
2. Can the YouTube Data API be used to schedule or upload these generated videos?
3. Are there any free or paid services or frameworks that simplify this full pipeline?
4. If Canva can't be automated, what are some alternative ways to generate simple no text-based video content with code?

I’m open to using Python, Node.js, or even no-code tools if they help automate the process.
Any advice, documentation, or example projects would be really helpful!
