video-clipper

Clips multiple video clips from one video file.

Usage

Install
pip install video-clipper-r
Create manifest.yaml with command below:
python -m video_clipper init-manifest
Run python -m videp_clipper manifest.yaml to start clipping.

Why the Package Has a Different Name?

PyPI told me the original name video-clipper was similiar to some existing package(s), so I renamed release package - added a r as suffix.
The suffix r means nothing. Sometimes we add r or R after a software name to show this is totally a different software.

Requirements

Python 3.8+
FFmpeg
(Please add FFmpeg to your PATH environment variable)

Some Useful Suggestions

If you are using an Intel laptop without a dedicated graphics card (i.e., ThinkPad T14 Gen2 w/ NVIDIA MX450) or you have to use Intel CPU to encode videos:
Please apply the patch below:

diff --git a/video_clipper/app.py b/video_clipper/app.py

The h264_qsv encoder uses Intel's QuickSync, and has about 2x better performance than libx264 in pure CPU scenarios.
