22w12a

New Features

• New --extras option allows users to directly pass options to ffmpeg

Bug Fixes

• Fixed de-syncing issue with exporting Premiere Pro XML. (Issue #234)
• Patch for Final Cut Pro with should fix de-syncing (Issue #245, needs confirmation)
• Fixed a non-fatal crash discussed in Issue #246

Breaking Changes

• The --tune, --preset and --constant-rate-factor have been removed in favor in passing those options directly to ffmpeg via --extras
  The removal is due to the fact that different encoders have different values that they accept and auto-editor can't precompute what those values can be.

22w02a

What's New

Faster Media Rendering

Auto-Editor now doesn't need to be know VFR frames ahead of time to benefit from the speed up --has_vfr provides. Instead of creating a CFR stream in stdout, auto-editor now uses presentation time provided by PyAV. Because of this change, the --has_vfr option has been removed.

Add Image Object

You can now overlay images when rendering videos. Opacity is changeable and Image transparency is respected.

Example:

auto-editor example.mp4 --add-image 0,end,/Users/wyattblue/archive/memes/template/npc-meme.png,y=height,anchor=bl,x=0 --scale 0.5

What's New

Frame Margin Changes

You can now use separate starting and ending margins

# Set a start margin of 3 frames and an end margin of 8 frames

Frame margins can now be negative

auto-editor example.mp4 --frame_margin -3
auto-editor example.mp4 --frame_margin -2,-1

And of course, seconds units still work.

auto-editor example.mp4 --frame_margin -0.1secs,0.2secs
