Installation¶
VidPy requires melt, which can be tricky to properly install on Mac and Windows. The easiest option is to install Shotcut (an open source video editor) which comes with a prebuilt melt binary.
Mac/Windows¶
- Install Shotcut (on a mac with brew you can also run
brew cask install shotcut - Install VidPy with:
pip install vidpy
Ubuntu/Debian¶
- Install melt:
sudo apt-get install melt - Install VidPy:
pip install vidpy
Setup¶
VidPy will attempt to locate the melt binary, searching first for a Shotcut installation on Mac/Windows. You can also point VidPy to a specific binary like so:
from vidpy import config
config.MELT_BINARY = '/path/to/melt'
