Automatically edits videos. Explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ8orIurGxw
You can run jumpcutter through the command line (provided that either the needed python libraries are installed or you are using the windows executable).
Using the python file:
python jumpcutter.py --input_file path/to/file.mp4
Using the windows executable:
jumpcutter --input_file path/to/file.mp4
The following arguments may be passed:
| Command | Info |
|---|---|
--input_file INPUT_FILE |
The video file you want modified |
--url URL |
A video url to download and process through youtube-dl |
--output_file OUTPUT_FILE |
The output file. (optional. if not included, it'll just modify the input file name) |
--silent_threshold SILENT_THRESHOLD |
The volume amount that frames' audio needs to surpass to be consider "sounded". It ranges from 0 (silence)to 1 (max volume) (Default: 0.03) |
--sounded_speed SOUNDED_SPEED |
The speed that sounded (spoken) frames should be played at. Typically 1. (Default: 1.00) |
--silent_speed SILENT_SPEED |
The speed that silent frames should be played at. 999999 for jumpcutting. (Default: 5.00) |
--frame_margin FRAME_MARGIN |
Some silent frames adjacent to sounded frames are included to provide context. How many frames on either the side of speech should be included? That's this variable. (Default: 1) |
--sample_rate SAMPLE_RATE |
Sample rate of the input and output videos (Default: 44100) |
--frame_quality FRAME_QUALITY |
Quality of frames to be extracted from input video. 1 is highest, 31 is lowest. (Default 3) |
Alternatively jumpcutter also provides a Python API for embedding in other Python scripts. Eg.
import jumpcutter
jumpcutter.execute(url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ", silent_speed=8.0, sounded_speed=1.2)It uses Python 3.
It works on Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10. (It might work on other OSs too, we just haven't tested it yet.)
This program relies heavily on ffmpeg. It will start subprocesses that call ffmpeg, so be aware of that! If the program cannot access ffmpeg (either because it isn't installed or added to PATH), it will automatically download and use a suitable binary for your OS
As the program runs, it saves every frame of the video as an image file in a
temporary folder. If your video is long, this could take a LOT of space.
I have processed 17-minute videos completely fine, but be wary if you're gonna go longer.
90 minute videos have also been tested, but the process uses a ridiculous amount of disk space and takes hours to finish.
I want to use pyinstaller to turn this into an executable, so non-techy people
can use it EVEN IF they don't have Python and all those libraries. Jabrils
recommended this to me. However, my pyinstaller build did not work. :( HELP
nix-build to get a script with all the libraries and ffmpeg, nix-build -A bundle to get a single binary.
