Video to chars

Convert video to character art animation.

Install

install video2chars:

pip install video2chars

Usage

P.S. video2chars depends on moviepy, and moviepy depends on the software FFMPEG for video reading and writing. You don’t need to worry about that, as FFMPEG should be automatically downloaded/installed by ImageIO during your first use of video2chars. If you want to use a specific version of FFMPEG, you can set the FFMPEG_BINARY environment variable. See moviepy/config_defaults.py for details.

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.
