Get scenecuts from a video file using ffmpeg
Project description
Scenecut Extractor
Extract scenecuts from video files using ffmpeg.
This tool uses the select
filter from ffmpeg to determine the scene cut probability of adjacent frames, and allows users to determine which frames (or at which timestamps) the scene cuts happen.
Author: Werner Robitza werner.robitza@gmail.com
Requirements
- Python 3.5 or higher
- FFmpeg:
- download a static build from their website)
- put the
ffmpeg
executable in your$PATH
Installation
pip3 install --user scenecut_extractor
Or clone this repository, then run the tool with python3 -m scenecut_extractor
.
Usage
Run:
scenecut_extractor <input-file>
This might take a while depending on the length of your input file, and then output a list of scene cuts in JSON format:
[
{
"frame": 114,
"pts": 114.0,
"pts_time": 3.8,
"score": 0.445904
},
{
"frame": 159,
"pts": 159.0,
"pts_time": 5.3,
"score": 0.440126
}
]
Extended Usage
The command supports the following arguments and options:
-t
,--threshold
: set threshold between 0 and 1 (default: 0.3)-o
,--output
: one of{all,frames,seconds}
, output either all info, or only frame number, or timestamp in seconds-of
,--output-format
: one of{json,csv}
(default: json)-v
,--verbose
: show the ffmpeg command-p
,--progress
: show a progress bar (useful for longer videos)-h
,--help
: show help message and exit
You can use the -t
parameter to set the threshold that ffmpeg internally uses (between 0 and 1) – if you set it to 0, all frames will be printed with their probabilities.
