ffmpeg in python script
Try pydemux in https://github.com/Tee0125/pydemux. Pydemux module can extract video frames as in Pillow Image format
from PyDemux import Video
v = Video.open('video.mov')
i = 0
while True:
im = v.get_frame()
if im is None:
break
im.save('output%d.png'%i)
i = i + 1
From a brief look at FFMPY, you could do this using ffmpy.FFmpeg, as that allows any and all FFMPEG command line options, including -f. -- Click the link for documentation.
You could do the FFMPEG command with os.system
. You'll need to import OS anyway to iterate through the files.
You would need to iterate through all the files in a directory though. This would be the more challenging bit, it's quite easy with a for loop though.
for filename in os.listdir(path):
if (filename.endswith(".mp4")): #or .avi, .mpeg, whatever.
os.system("ffmpeg -i {0} -f image2 -vf fps=fps=1 output%d.png".format(filename))
else:
continue
The above code iterates through the directory at path
, and uses command prompt to execute your given FFMPEG command, using the filename (if it's a video file) in place of mymovie.avi
