First you need to make sure that you can use ffmpeg in shell. eg:

usage: ffmpeg [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...

If it returns error or not found etc. install ffmpeg and add its bin directory to PATH first.

then install video2chars:

pip install video2chars

Usage

video2chars --duration 30 --width 120 path_of_video_file

you will see a file named output.mp4 in your current path when it completes, have fun ~

p.s. if it's a bit slow, turn down the width and duration, to speed up the conversion.

check video2chars --help for more information.
