[P] DeFFcode: A High-performance FFmpeg based Video-Decoder Python Library for fast and low-overhead decoding of a wide range of video streams into 3D NumPy frames.
There are a good amount of FFMPEG wrappers out there, decord, pyav, and MoviePy are probably the most popular. I'm sure all of these are fine, but they seem like they'd be best suited for something like a web backend for a startup that's getting off the ground or something else where latency isn't a huge issue.

need advice on what frameworks to use w ffmpeg
Personally I would recommend using the PYAV bindings directly, if you want any sort of control over different codecs, profiles, pixel formats etc.
