• Video stabilization
• Add audio

Syntax

• Note: here testVideos is the folder where I have my video files (so I dont have to specify the full path)
• Note: commands.txt is the name of the file where I can have my string instead of directly passing it.
• The most basic way to run it is

python -m seenovideos -f testVideos/ -t commands.txt 

Here, commands.txt has the string required.

• If you want to directly supply the string instead

python -m seenovideos -f testVideos/ -d -t "{name:venus.mp4,A:0,}+{name:grassTutorialNew.mp4,A:0,resize:128;128,}"

• To specify an output file name if youre merging videos add -o "filename.mp4"

Supported options

• example syntax: { name: file.mp4, resize: 128;128, }
• stabilize:1 for video stabilization (this requires vidstab)
• resize: size1,size2 for resizing
• trim:00-01-00;00-5-10 format: hh:mm:ss; hh:mm,ss for start and end time of trimming the video
• speedV: multiplier speed up video by a factor of the multipler (eg: 2)
• speedA: multiplier speed up audio by a factor of the multipler (eg: 2)

FAQ

• WTF are you nuts? - You know what. I probably am. But basic video edit is too much work.
• Why. - This is for basic video editing. Why bother getting a UI and everything when you can just write it in a text file and be done with it?
