Mediaify

Media encoding made simple!

Encode media without the hassle of wrangling ffmpeg and pillow, instead declare your output declaratively!

Documentation

import mediaify

with open('./image.png', 'rb') as f:
    data = f.read()

image = mediaify.encode_image(data, mediaify.WEBPImageFormat(quality=90))
image.save("./image.webp")

Multimedia Support

Supports transcoding of several different media types.

• Audio
• Image
• Animation
• Video

with open("./audio.mp4", "rb") as f:
    data = f.read()

mediaify.encode_audio(data)
>>> AudioFile(audio/mpeg, 2.5MB)

with open("./image.png", "rb") as f:
    data = f.read()

mediaify.encode_image(data)
>>> ImageFile(1200x1600, image/png, 35.4KB)


with open("./animation.gif", "rb") as f:
    data = f.read()

mediaify.encode_animation(data)
>>> AnimationFile(1280x800, 1.1s 11 frames, 10.0fps, image/gif, 132.8KB)


with open("./examples/input/video.mp4", "rb") as f:
    data = f.read()

mediaify.encode_video(data)
>>> VideoFile(1280x720, 60.458s, 24.0fps, audio, video/mp4, 8.5MB)

Customisable

Encode videos with multiple resolutions, formats, codecs as well as thumbnails and previews easily.

import mediaify

thumbnail = mediaify.ThumbnailEncoding(
    encoding=mediaify.WEBPImageFormat(
        resize=mediaify.TargetResolutionResize(width=640, height=360),
        quality=80,
    ),
)
preview = mediaify.VideoPreviewAnimationEncoding(
    encoding=mediaify.WEBPAnimationFormat(
        resize=mediaify.TargetResolutionResize(width=640, height=360),
        quality=50,
        lossless=False,
    ),
    framerate=5,
    frames=60,
)
video_360p = mediaify.WEBMFormat(
    resize=mediaify.TargetResolutionResize(width=640, height=360),
    video_codec=mediaify.AV1Codec(crf=50, preset=7),
    audio_codec=mediaify.OpusCodec(bitrate=128_000),
)
video_720p = mediaify.WEBMFormat(
    resize=mediaify.TargetResolutionResize(width=1280, height=720),
    video_codec=mediaify.AV1Codec(crf=45, preset=6),
    audio_codec=mediaify.OpusCodec(bitrate=128_000),
)
fallback = mediaify.MP4Format(
    resize=mediaify.TargetResolutionResize(width=1280, height=720),
    video_codec=mediaify.H264Codec(crf=21, preset="medium"),
    audio_codec=mediaify.OpusCodec(bitrate=128_000),
)


configs = [thumbnail, preview, video_360p, video_720p, fallback]
with open('./examples/input/video.mp4', 'rb') as f:
    data = f.read()

mediaify.batch_encode_video(data, configs)
>>> [
    ImageFile(640x360, image/webp, 10.1KB),
    AnimationFile(640x360, 12.0s 60 frames, 5.0fps, image/webp, 1.8MB),
    VideoFile(640x360, 60.45s, 24.0fps, audio, video/webm, 2.2MB),
    VideoFile(1280x720, 60.45s, 24.0fps, audio, video/webm, 4.2MB),
    VideoFile(1280x720, 60.45s, 24.0fps, audio, video/mp4, 14.2MB),
