I will add examples here later, but for now, let's skip straight into how to use this code. Don't worry if you aren't a coder and this looks intimidating; you should be able to follow these instructions step-by-step, even without any technical knowledge. If you do run into any problems, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter.

How to use

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of Python installed on your computer (if you don't, you can download it at https://www.python.org/downloads/)
  2. Install git, if you haven't already (you can get it at https://git-scm.com/downloads)
  3. Open Terminal (or Command Prompt on Windows), and copy-paste the following code: git clone https://github.com/yitzilitt/Slitscanner.git
  4. Navigate to the repository folder, by typing cd Slitscanner
  5. Download the required libraries with the command pip install -r requirements.txt
  6. Run the script you want to run by simply typing python [insert filename of script you want to run here] (for example, python main.py, which will apply the slitscan effect to a video or series of videos located at an [otherwise empty] folder of your choice)

That's it!
