limmy_blender_video

This a python script / .blend that creates a version of a Limmy video using an image and a song. Example: https://youtu.be/SiC2qVCB98s

To run, first download the 1080p video from yt5s.com-Limmy's Show - Benny Harvey R.I.P. (4K Remaster)-(1080p).mp4 to this folder (md5=b3b172b7eb77db9f4592c8d79c47c257). Note the filename must match!

Then overwrite limmy_tshirt.jpeg and limmy_song.m4a with a square-ish jpeg and an m4a (m4a is the audio from an mp4; it sometimes has the extension .mp4 but it's the same so you can just rename it .m4a).

Then run this (tested with Blender 3.0.0):

blender --factory-startup -b limmy.blend -P limmy.py -x 1 -o //limmy_ -a -- -v 0.5 -a1 10 -a2 10

• -x 1 = use extension
• -o //limmy_ = output name
• -a = render all frames
• -- = everything after this is an argument to limmy.py
• -v 0.5 = volume 50%
• -a1 10 = add 10 frames before fist pump, to time the video with the music
• -a2 10 = add 10 frames after fist pump, to time the video with the music
