What it does

Video-use is a tool that allows you to edit videos using coding agents, enabling automated video editing tasks through Python scripts.

When to use it
  • •You need to automate video editing tasks such as trimming, concatenating, or adding watermarks to multiple videos.
  • •You want to integrate video editing capabilities into a larger Python application or workflow.
  • •You require precise control over video editing operations that are difficult to achieve with manual editing tools.
Ready-to-paste prompt
python examples/example.py --input-video=input.mp4 --output-video=output.mp4 --trim-start=00:00:05 --trim-end=00:00:10
Heads up: Ensure you have the necessary codecs installed on your system, as video-use relies on FFmpeg for video processing, and its installation is not handled by the pip install command.
