Convert video to character art animation.

中文说明

Install

install video2chars:

pip install video2chars

if you are using a old pip, maybe you should add --prefer-binary to make things go right(or upgrade your pip first):

pip install video2chars --prefer-binary

Because this tool relies on imageio-ffmpeg, but only the binary version of imageio-ffmpeg contains the ffmpeg binary. if pip choose the source version, problem will occurs.

Usage

video2chars --chars_width 120 --t_end 10 path/of/video_file

The above command shows that the path of the specified video will be converted to a ascii video with a width of 120, and only convert the first 10 seconds. you'll see a file named output.mp4 in your current directory when it completes, have fun ~

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

check video2chars --help for more information.
