ffmpeg-python VS moviepy

Even given an option it can be difficult to find the corresponding documentation, if only because of the many different submodules and encoders and decoders and filters that have o-so-slightly different options. That said, I've just switched from pydub to ffmpeg-python (due to memory issues of the former[1]) and judging from the Jupiter notebook[2] it seems a much more intuitive method of constructing ffmpeg pipelines.

You might want to look into ffmpeg-python as well

This bug on github sounds like the same issue you have

take a look at https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python

The ffmpeg-python python package still makes use of the “future” python package (search for “past” in the code base). These should be removed and updated as necessary.

I've had a look through these examples, but I can't get the numpy conversion to work (I get broken pipe errors, but if any of you can get it working this solution would be ideal)

Your going to be wanting to enumerate all the files in a folder, shuffle them, and then use a library for splicing them together. A quick google search brought me to moviePy, which seems pretty solid. ffmpeg is the industry standard for programmatically working with video, but it's...complicated to say the least. Looks like there are some good python bindings for it, but it may be overkill for this project. I'm sure there are others out there too.

I've been using ffmpeg-python recently, and it will do a lot of the crazy complex transforms for you, and you can write sane python code vs. trying to deal with the crazy default ffmpeg syntax.

Python has become a popular programming language for different applications, including data science, artificial intelligence, and web development. But, did you know creating and rendering fully customized videos with Python is also possible? At Stack Builders, we have successfully used Python libraries such as MoviePy, SciPy, and ImageMagick to generate videos with animations, text, and images. In this article, we will look closer at how Python can be used for video generation and explore some of the powerful libraries and tools that make it possible.

VideoClip.set_layer functionality was added in https://github.com/Zulko/moviepy/pull/1176 but when I try to use it I get this error:

Moviepy was used to connect video and audio track.

I'm pretty sure Moviepy can do something like this.

For those of you who will try to figure this out, I have a couple notes. First, this doesn’t appear to be the only bug in cutout. If one tries to cut out X length of video, then the new rendered video will have X length of audio removed from the end. In other words, if I remove 3 seconds of film somewhere in the media, the resulting movie will have 3 seconds of silence at the end, although the video at the end is still intact. Thankfully, this can be fixed by going into the moviepy library, into “decorators”, and on line 43 under “def apply_to_audio(f, clip, *a, **k):”, change it from “newclip.audio = f(newclip.audio, *a, **k)” to “newclip.audio = f(clip.audio, *a, **k)”. By the way, I didn’t come up with this fix, these guys did.

This app leverages these powerful libraries: - yt-dlp: video downloader - moviepy: video trimmer/merger - click: CLI app creator - rich / rich-click: CLI app styler

The pip will be used to install and use Moviepy.
