dramasub 0.0.3

script to generate accompanying visuals for voice dramas from .ass subtitle files

Dramasub

A tool for auto-generating visuals for a video based off of an .ass subtitle file. Intended for creating visual novel-style visual accompaniments for audio-only content, such as drama CDs.

Installation and Requirements:

Dramasub can be installed via:

pip install dramasub

Requires FFmpeg to be installed and for both ffmpeg and ffprobe configured in PATH. Also requires the Wand Python bindings, which requires ImageMagick; please see the Wand documentation for installation instructions.

Has only been tested with Windows, but may work on other platforms.

Args:

• -i, --input: Input video file (audio and non-overlay background visuals, such as scene transitions)
• -o, --output: Output video file
• -c, --config: Config file (.py) that lists what visuals are assigned to each Actor and Effect specified in the .ass subtitle file. For more details, see examples/example_config.py.
• -a, -ass: Input subtitle file (.ass). IMPORTANT: Must be in the current working directory (path your terminal is in) due to issues with ffmpeg. For an example actor/effect setup, see examples/example_sub.ass.
• --cook_only (optional): For previewing visuals without processing the whole video. Only reads the .ass file and generates accompanying images to the kitchen path specified in the config. If set, does not require output video path to be specified, but input video is still required.
