Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python

Posted by rezoolab on Wednesday November 15, 2023 @12:20PM
from the show-hn dept.

Originally, this library was created due to my motivation to make videos in Python. Of course, I considered other Python libraries, but I decided to create a new library for video editing because I needed the following features and also for study purposes:

- The existence of composition. Especially, the ability to perform advanced video editing by inserting compositions within compositions.

- The ability to add animations based on keyframes.

- Effects like chroma key and drop shadow.

- A caching mechanism to render the same frame quickly.

- Various blending modes.

These features, despite being standard in proprietary video editing software, were not present in previous Python libraries. Currently, I am using this library to automatically generate videos from raw materials. I would be grateful for any comments, thoughts, or requests.

It's impressive. I can not imagine that this tool with ai can create.

Thank you. Essentially, it is a library created to somewhat automatically produce video content with advanced direction, such as captions and scene switches using multiple cameras. We plan to enhance the samples on how to create such videos.

Some easy to access online demo videos of the end product (so I dont have to download code) would be a huge improvement.

Thank you for your feedback. We do provide simple code for Google Colab [1], but creating a higher quality demo video seems like a good idea. I'll try to make one in my free time.

Also, while we currently offer basic sample code [2], I am considering attaching these rendering videos to the README.md.

Wow this is really cool. Make sure to get this repository into those "Awesome Python" GitHub lists. Would also appreciate some video demos in the README to demonstrate what the repo does

Thank you! I'm still not clear about the details of the 'Awesome Python' GitHub lists, but can I submit my own repository to it? (I would like to continue improving the repository to make it eligible). Also, regarding the addition of a video to the README, I plan to work on it in my free time.
