Docs

Install python 3.9 and the install requirements.txt, runs as $ python

From project root, run $ node examples/example.js and then check the output folder

####Then: Test on a new video: drop a new video in the videos folder

Then you can run ~ cd videos $ ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -i newVideo.mp4 -to 00:00:30 -c copy newVideoTrimmed.mp4

You will need to serve the .vtt file from a path that your video player can access. Also, you will need to serve the sprite from a place that will be referenced in the vtt file.

Uses this Python library for generating the sprite from the video: https://github.com/flavioribeiro/video-thumbnail-generator
