pympeg (python + ffmpeg)

A simple to use ffmpeg binding in python. Simple filters command can be implemented using simple functions without worrying about the ffmpeg syntax. Useful in situation when you know how to construct ffmpeg command but don't want it to look ugly with for loops.

Usage

Four functions to work with:

pympeg.input(name="example.mp4")

pympeg.filter(intputs=any, filter_name="trim", params={"start": 3, "duration": 10})

pympeg.arg(caller=any, args="concat=n=1", outputs=["audio", "video"]) # inputs= is available

pympeg.run() # default adds overwrite file option (ffmpeg -y )

graph = pympeg.graph() # returns a list of nodes, use print to get representation

Examples

1. Adding filters

out  = (
        pympeg.input(name="example.mp4")
        .filter(filter_name="trim", params={"start": 2, "duration": 10})
        .output(name="output.mp4")
        .run()
)

command generated :: ffmpeg -i example.mp4  -y -filter_complex \
"[0] trim=start=2:duration=10 [nyQ]" -map "[nyQ]" output.mp4 

2. Implementing simple file conversion

out = (
    pympeg.input(name="example.mp4")
    .output(name="example.wav")
    .run()
)

command generated :: ffmpeg -i example.mp4 example.wav 

Note: Use pympeg.init() when using multiple run commands
