ytclip 1.2.1

Command to download a video and cut out a clip.

ytclip

This utility provides a command that will automate downloading files and creating clips out of them.

The utility is user friendly.

It relies on yt-dlp to do the downloading of files and uses static_ffmpeg to do the actual cutting. This stack should be cross platform and should not require elevated permissions to install (yay!).

Install

$ python -m pip install ytclip

Running

$ cd <MY_DIRECTORY>
$ ytclip
Add new video:
  url: ...
  start_timestamp: 08:08
  end_timestamp: 08:20
  output_name: my_file

$ cd <MY_DIRECTORY>
$ ytclip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLXt3yh2g0s --start_timestamp 00:32 --end_timestamp 00:52 --outname myoutputfile

$ ytclip --help

Api

You can also use it as an api:

from ytclip.ytclip import run_download_and_cut

run_download_and_cut(
    url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wtIMTCHWuI",
    start_timestamp="1:10",
    end_timestamp="1:30",
    outname="myclip_withoutsuffix")

You can also turn off logging like so:

from ytclip.ytclip import run_download_and_cut, set_logging

set_logging(False)
run_download_and_cut(...)
