flippy 0.1.2

Build videos from image directories

flippy

Python script for generating videos by rapidly flipping through or overlaying images.

Installation

pip install flippy

This will automatically download and install flippy, opencv-python, and numpy.

Usage

flippy /some/image/path

This will build a video out of the images in the directory /some/image/path, using the auto-detected resolution at the default 20 FPS.

Flippy is heavily configurable, and accepts a number of command line arguments.

flippy /some/image/path -o ~/output.avi -f 60.0 -c XVID -t blend
