Examples

# Trim video from 5s to 20s
clipvideo movie.mp4 --start 5.0 --end 20.0

# Open interactive clip editor in the browser
clipvideo movie.mp4 --gui

# Convert video to GIF (3.5s–10s at 15 fps)
video2gif movie.mp4 --start 3.5 --end 10.0 --fps 15

# Extract every 5th frame as PNG
video2images movie.mp4 --every 5 --format png

# Recolor a logo's foreground to black (keeps the background)
recolor logo.png

# Recolor a logo's foreground to a custom color (hex or R,G,B)
recolor logo.png --color '#1a73e8'
recolor logo.png --color 0,178,179

# Batch resize images to 800×600
batchimages ./photos -o ./resized --size 800,600

# Clean Python caches
clearcache . --all

# List every device on your local network
netscan

# Also identify each device's manufacturer (online OUI lookup)
netscan --lookup

# Scan a specific subnet, faster, without hostname lookups
netscan --network 192.168.1.0/24 --timeout 0.5 --no-resolve

netscan reports IP, MAC, hostname and (with --lookup) the hardware manufacturer — a network scan can't read a device's CPU/RAM/OS. Phones and laptops that use a randomized/private MAC show up as (private) and can't be attributed to a vendor.

Output Defaults

When -o / --output is omitted, the output filename is derived from the input:

clipvideo movie.mp4          →  movie_clip.mp4
video2gif movie.mp4          →  movie.gif
resizeimage photo.jpg        →  photo_resized.jpg
recolor logo.png             →  logo_revised.png
contactsheet ./photos        →  photos_sheet.jpg
