# ffmpeg-python: Powerfully simple A/V routing with Python
|
|
|
|
FFmpeg is extremely powerful, but its command-line interface gets really complicated really quickly - especially when working with signal graphs and doing anything more than trivial.
|
|
|
|
Take for example a signal graph that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
The corresponding command-line arguments are pretty gnarly:
|
|
```
|
|
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter_complex "[0]trim=start_frame=10:end_frame=20,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[v0];[0]trim=start_frame=30:end_frame=40,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[v1];[0]trim=start_frame=50:end_frame=60,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[v2];[v0][v1][v2]concat=n=3[v3]" -map [v3] output.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Maybe this looks great to you, but if you haven't worked with FFmpeg before, this probably looks pretty alien.
|
|
|
|
If you're like me and find Python to be powerful and readable, it's easy with `ffmpeg-python`:
|
|
```
|
|
import ffmpeg
|
|
|
|
in_file = ffmpeg.file_input('input.mp4')
|
|
joined = ffmpeg.concat(
|
|
ffmpeg.trim(in_file, start_frame=10, end_frame=20),
|
|
ffmpeg.trim(in_file, start_frame=30, end_frame=40),
|
|
ffmpeg.trim(in_file, start_frame=50, end_frame=60)
|
|
)
|
|
out = ffmpeg.file_output(joined, 'output.mp4')
|
|
out.run()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`ffmpeg-python` takes care of running `ffmpeg` with the command-line arguments that correspond to the above filter diagram, and it's easy to what's going on and make changes as needed.
|
|
|
|
Real-world signal graphs can get a heck of a lot more complex, and `ffmpeg-python` doesn't care.
