VideoDumpty CLI

Break apart a video into frames, modify them, then recombine the frames back into video with the original framerate and audio.

Requirements

• Windows only (for now)
• ffmpeg
• python

Directions

First, download ffmpeg and put ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe in the .\ffmpeg folder

• Enter python dumptybreak.py panda.mp4 to "break apart" a video (in this example, panda.mp4) into its composite frames. The extracted frames will appear in .\frames\panda (using the name of the input video)
• Modify the extracted frames any way you like, but keep the filenames and number of frames the same.
• Enter python dumptyglue.py panda.mp4 to generate a new video from the frames found in .\frames\panda using the framerate and audio from panda.mp4 called panda-glued.mp4.

Known issues

• I suck at Python
• There is a colorspace adjustment during the conversion that needs to be ironed out
• Filenames cannot contain spaces
