MoviePy

Overview

Edit video programmatically with MoviePy — the Python library for video compositing, cutting, effects, and rendering. Ideal for automated video pipelines: social media content generation, bulk video processing, slideshow builders, subtitle embedding, template-based video creation, and any workflow where you need code-driven video editing without a GUI. Built on ffmpeg.

Instructions

Step 1: Installation

pip install moviepy
apt install -y ffmpeg         # Ubuntu/Debian
# Optional for text: apt install -y imagemagick
