A composable FFmpeg-based video editing library

Project description

🎬 Video Editing Library

A modular, pluggable video editing library built with Python and FFmpeg. Supports programmatic video transformations like text (watermark) overlay and audio merging using strategy and interpreter design patterns.


🚀 Features

  • Add watermark (text overlay) to videos
  • Overlay audio tracks onto videos
  • Process nested JSON editing instructions
  • In-memory and tempfile-based FFmpeg pipelines
  • Clean, extendable strategy-based architecture
  • Custom command interpreter for complex video editing workflows
  • Developer-friendly logging using colorlog

📦 Installation

From PyPI (coming soon)

pip install video-editing-lib

From source

git clone https://github.com/your-username/video-editing-lib.git
cd video-editing-lib
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

🧪 Testing

pytest            # all tests
pytest tests/unit         # only unit tests
pytest tests/integration  # only integration tests

🔧 Usage Example

from video_editor import process_json_command

command = {
    "operation": "overlay",
    "left": {
        "operation": "overlay",
        "left": {
            "type": "video",
            "bytes": open("video.mp4", "rb").read()
        },
        "right": {
            "type": "text",
            "value": "Watermark Text",
            "position": "bottom"
        }
    },
    "right": {
        "type": "audio",
        "bytes": open("audio.mp3", "rb").read()
    }
}

result = process_json_command(command)

with open("output.mp4", "wb") as f:
    f.write(result["bytes"].getvalue())
