Install latest python 3 and pip
Run following:
pip install moviepy
This script can take up to 3 video files, combine the clips sequentially and position a logo in the lower right corner of the screen for the primary input video. It also applies a short fade in and out on all the video clips.
This is designed to be simple to use at the outset but still has room to customize if desired. If you organize your recordings similar to me, you have a directory for each series and the videos sit there with a sequential name. This script can be used very simply with such an arrangement.
- Place a copy of
process.pyin the directory with your videos. - Copy your logo into the directory and name it
logo.png - Copy intro (at the beginning) and outro (at the end) videos into the directory
and name them
intro.mp4andoutro.mp4. - With a File Explorer window, drag and drop a video file onto
process.py. - Dropped file is processed, and outputted in the same directory with
outputappended to the name.
Quite a few command line options to exploit to tweak the output.
