Or just use ffmpeg-python.

do you use something like ffmpeg-python or just shell out?

or ffmpeg

Or ffmpeg.

Honestly, ffmpeg is awesome enough being able to do what it can with a one-liner..

And all without python dependency, or even internet access.

this looks magic.

As an Ex VFX wonk, and someone still working with videos, FFMPEG is both a joy and a massive pain at the same time. Having a simple interface in python makes life a whole boatload easier

ffmpeg-python is great! easier to construct complex commands, and read / edit later

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.

ffmpeg is your friend for media files, in case anyone gets ideas.

You can also use ffmpeg to do this, but figuring out the correct command line options is not easy.

RGamma | karma 1213 | avg karma 1.22 · | 2022-12-13 09:44:39

Or ffmpeg (with 'copy' codec) or mkvtoolnix

The ffmpeg-python wrapper module is sorta like that.

Have you used a ffmpeg wrapper like ffmpeg-python for dealing with video? If so, how does it compare? I remember seeing MoviePy briefly in my research but found there wasn't a lot of documentation.

dilipray | karma 811 | avg karma 5.23 · | 2012-11-05 14:05:40+00:00

If it is okay. Can you tell me which python FFMPEG library did you use?

jiaaro | karma 464 | avg karma 2.07 · | 2014-10-13 00:01:34+00:00

pydub does it, but it shells out to ffmpeg, not sure if that's acceptable

jokoon | karma 3945 | avg karma 1.05 · | 2022-04-24 06:54:57

I tried it once, it crashed the first time I tried it.

I write my own ffmpeg commands with python, and use AVIdemux when possible. Microsoft movie editor can also do a lot of things.

I just don't want to use heavy, bloated software, even if it's free.

Easy to do with ffmpeg/mencoder.

antegamisou | karma 866 | avg karma 2.19 · | 2021-04-09 01:49:33+00:00

Same with ffmpeg

HelloFellowDevs | karma 211 | avg karma 1.94 · | 2021-04-09 13:28:02+00:00

FFMPEG is truly the best thing so far, always wish I could contribute directly but I'll stick to working on the Python wrappers.

kiloreux | karma 615 | avg karma 4.49 · | 2017-08-02 10:39:17+00:00

As retarded as this question could be? Why not just use Ffmpeg? It's the ultimate tool for such tasks.
