viraloverlay 0.13

A CLI to create videos overlaid with text.

ViralOverlay™

Add styled, timed text to videos 'n GIFs! Kinda like this:

Usage

$ vo <path_to_video> <path_to_json_transcript OR json_transcript_string> [--gif if you want a gif instead of an mp4]

(lots of ffmpeg output...)
Okay, I overlaid your text on <path_to_video_overlaid>.

The json_transcript string or file should look like this:

[
    {
        "start": 1.03,
        "stop": 1.21,
        "text": "I"
    },
    {
        "start": 1.21,
        "stop": 1.44,
        "text": "am"
    },
    {
        "start": 1.45,
        "stop": 1.84,
        "text": "saying"
    },
    {
        "start": 1.85,
        "stop": 2.25,
        "text": "some"
    },
    {
        "start": 2.25,
        "stop": 2.97,
        "text": "words"
    }
]

See sibling projects Transcribe all the Things and tpro for easy, automatic generation of such transcripts.
