Usage

• basic usage (preview only)

mkreel input_video.mp4 --img input_img.png --vcut start_time end_time 

• time format:

  • The following time format can be used with the --vcut argument: hh:mm:ss, for e.g: 00:11:03
  • You can safely omit hours if not needed: 11:03
  • Get more precise cuts: 11:03.5, 00:11:03.7, ...

• output to a file: -o

mkreel input_video.mp4 --img input_img.png --vcut start_time end_time -o output_reel.mp4

• use --auto-crop to crop video so that it fits in available space

mkreel input_video.mp4 --img input_img.png --vcut start_time end_time --auto-crop　-o output_reel.mp4

• use --ratio to set aspect ratio (default: 4:5) for e.g use the following command to get a square video:

mkreel input_video.mp4 --img input_img.png --vcut start_time end_time --ratio 1:1 --auto-crop　-o output_reel.mp4

note: the video width will be determined from the image file.

• use --vcut multiple times to make and concatenate multiple cuts from same input video

mkreel input_video.mp4 --img input_img.png --vcut start_time end_time　--vcut start_time2 end_time2 -o output_reel.mp4

• when making multiple cuts a simple fade transition is inserted between them by default, you can disable this behavior by passing --disable-transition

mkreel input_video.mp4 --img input_img.png --vcut start_time end_time　--vcut start_time2 end_time2 --disable-transition -o output_reel.mp4
