=== scripting ===
 +
 +
here comes the interesting part!
 +
 +
the process relies on 3 parts:
 +
 +
* a data file, containing the media information - '''media_*.py'''
 +
* an animation script, creating the animation in terminal - '''credits_generator.py'''
 +
* and a bash file that controls the whole recording process via ffmpeg - '''credits.sh'''
 +
 +
They are detailed here below.
 +
 +
==== media info ====
 +
 +
the process requires a minimum of text editing: just create a '''media_[name].py''' file containing the required vars (with correct types)
 +

Result of the scripts

watch this at full resolution (full HD), or you will not see anything :)

how does it works

notes for me and whoever might find this interesting

the logo is using the 'ascii' font JS Cursive, slightly modified on the 'n' 

  __  __,   ,_   _   __,   __   _   ,  
_(_,_(_/(__/ (__/ (_(_/(__(_/__(/__/_)_
                          _/_          
                         (/

that's a nice way to display other fonts in the terminal; see resources for links

information gathering

to retrieve the video information, i used ffprobe, it dumps a lot of info 

Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'carnages_creamy_patterns.mov':
 Metadata:
   major_brand     : qt  
   minor_version   : 512
   compatible_brands: qt  
   encoder         : Lavf56.40.101
 Duration: 01:39:01.03, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 200411 kb/s
   Stream #0:0(eng): Video: qtrle (rle  / 0x20656C72), rgb24, 1920x1080, 200408 kb/s, 30 fps, 30 tbr, 15360 tbn, 15360 tbc (default)
   Metadata:
     handler_name    : DataHandler
     encoder         : Lavc56.60.100 qtrle

for the credits, i just used the Stream #0:0, reformated as a tabbed list

other info comes from the file browser (nemo in my case)

scripting

here comes the interesting part!

the process relies on 3 parts:

  • a data file, containing the media information - media_*.py
  • an animation script, creating the animation in terminal - credits_generator.py
  • and a bash file that controls the whole recording process via ffmpeg - credits.sh

They are detailed here below.

media info

the process requires a minimum of text editing: just create a media_[name].py file containing the required vars (with correct types)

example of media info file
