Usage

Usage: motion_photo_splitter [OPTIONS] [FILENAMES]...

  Take list of filenames containing joined photo and video and split them in
  two separate files.

  Works for samsung motion photos by default - they contain
  "MotionPhoto_data" edge marker - but any other marker text can be passed.

  NOTE: how the output file names are constructed:

  `{path_prefix}{fname_orig}{pic_suffix}` - for picture files
  `{path_prefix}{fname_orig}{vid_suffix}` - for video files

  WARNING: If you set empty string as the file suffix, the original file
  gets overwritten! WARNING: If using the `path-prefix`, you should create
  the folders yourself.

Options:
  -q, --quiet         supress all output
  -m, --marker TEXT   The utf-8 encoded edge marker text. Default is for
                      samsung motion photos  [default: MotionPhoto_Data]

  --pic-suffix TEXT   Suffix of the splitted picture file.  [default: .jpg]
  --vid-suffix TEXT   Suffix of the splitted video file.  [default: .mp4]
  --path-prefix TEXT  Prefix of the splitted files path - eg to put them in
                      subfolder `out/`.  [default: ]

  --help              Show this message and exit.
