Show HN: Editly – Declarative command-line video editing

This looks great! Two alternatives if you are interested in doing similar things in python are moviepy (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;zulko.github.io&#x2F;moviepy&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;zulko.github.io&#x2F;moviepy&#x2F;</a>) and vidpy (which I am working on, and still has many issues: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;antiboredom.github.io&#x2F;vidpy&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;antiboredom.github.io&#x2F;vidpy&#x2F;</a>)

Great.. now we can have more videos like the one this parodies: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;Jrl9LQesl7U" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;Jrl9LQesl7U</a>

HTML5 &#x2F; WebGL integration makes this an essential tool for me. My target is a &quot;pure&quot; animation pipeline for ThreeJS scenes dumped to WebM files. Thanks for building ;)

Well, I came here to congratulate for the good job, but everyone seems to be talking about creating automatic videos for youtube. Well, that&#x27;s the thing with this kind of stuff, it goes both ways. Can be used for good or bad. But congratulations anyways. Good job.

From the headline I was hoping someone finally built a system that transcribes interview footage and lets you edit the video by editing the text.

Great project. I had to do some command line video editing a while ago and it was a fiddly and frustrating process. Keep going!

Somewhat related: I recently realized that <i>in theory</i> I should be able to easily use ffmpeg with Termux to cut and concatenate clips I shoot on my phone without recompression, since they&#x27;re all guaranteed to have the same settings (as long as all inputs are landscape or portrait). However, typing out the file path for a list of files would be a complete pain on the phone.<p>Does anyone know of a way to select a list of files on Android and send that list as input to a script in Termux? That would open up quite a bit of automation possibilities

Is there a way to mute specific windows of clips? I see you can do `cutFrom` and `cutTo` but say I just want to mute that section, not remove the entire section

There was something similar posted a few weeks ago called video puppet, but it had more features.

Looks nice it gave me a good side project idea which is merging my family randomly cut small pieces with the music I liked. And combine with beats if possible. Thanks for sharing.

Has anyone hacked together some Pandoc glue? It would be nice to just point it at some pandoc files. (Granted there will be a need for a few extra details with imagery.)

Looks great, from looking at the use cases and examples.<p>What scares me is the requirement to have ffmpeg and ffprobe installed and available of course. Had a painful experience installing ffmpeg on Jessie Light on a rpi in the past.<p>If you know a good and easy way, or have a link to such a way, to install these on Mac &#x2F; Windows &#x2F; Ubuntu I think adding it to your readme could help you gain traction outside of people who already have some of the capacities needed to do such edits.<p>Edit: precised that I&#x27;m not looking for a way to install ffmpeg, I was just suggesting that pointing to a way in the README would be an improvement IMHO.

Cool, but why? What’s a use case for this?

Can I use other glsl transition from shadertoy?

Hmmm. I thought ffmpeg was already pretty good for declarative command-line video editing.

Welcome to the era of the fully automated youtube channel.<p>Reddit scraper -&gt; voice synthesizer -&gt; Programmatic video editing tool -&gt; youtube API<p>For extra credit add some kind of ML tool to identify &quot;stories&quot; in comments<p>Trash content, but a lot of people seem to watch it [1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=6QIh3GSgPPk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=6QIh3GSgPPk</a>

Is this only for creating gifs? I was hoping it could create regular videos.

Judging by the comments here I guess I&#x27;m the only one that feels extremely awkward about this being written in Javascript. I don&#x27;t mind wrappers but is this essentially just an ffmpeg wrapper in JS?
