Get scenecuts from a video file using ffmpeg

Project description

# Scenecut Extractor

Extract scenecuts from video files using ffmpeg.

Author: Werner Robitza <werner.robitza@gmail.com>

# Requirements

- Python 2.7 or 3.x
- FFmpeg:
- download a static build from [their website](http://ffmpeg.org/download.html))
- put the `ffmpeg` executable in your `$PATH`

# Installation

pip install scenecut_extractor

Or clone this repository, then run the tool with `python -m scenecut_extractor`.

# Usage

Run:

scenecut_extractor <input-file>

This will output a list of scene cuts in JSON format:

```json
[
{
"frame": 114,
"pts": 114.0,
"pts_time": 3.8,
"score": 0.445904
},
{
"frame": 159,
"pts": 159.0,
"pts_time": 5.3,
"score": 0.440126
}
]
```

You can use the `-t` parameter to set the threshhold that ffmpeg internally uses (between 0 and 1).

Or `scenecut_extractor -h` to find more options.
