svgsequencevideo 0.1.0

Generate drawing reveal videos from SVG files.

svgsequencevideo is a Python library and CLI for generating drawing reveal videos from SVG files: every shape appears one after another, in the order it is drawn in the SVG, as if the artwork were being drawn live.

See documentation with tutorials and examples: https://svgsequencevideo.readthedocs.io.

Quick overview

(venv) $ pip install svgsequencevideo

Generating a video is split into two independent steps: a slow render of the SVG into PNG frames, done once, and a fast video build from those frames, run as many times as needed while tuning the reveal timing.

(venv) $ svgsequencevideo render drawing.svg --width 1920
(venv) $ svgsequencevideo video --revealduration 15 --heuristic complex

Limitation

When used in the heuristic to compute the reveal time of each element, the computation of the area of an element does not take into account clipping.

Coding style

Some visual studio code settings of visualStudioCodeSettings.json should be used to ensure some homogeneity in the coding style.

In Visual Studio Code, install extensions

• isort to sort Python automatically

• Pylance for type checking
