ytclip
This utility provides a command that will automate downloading files and creating clips out of them.
The utility is user friendly.
It relies on yt-dlp
to do the downloading of files and uses static_ffmpeg
to do the actual cutting. This
stack should be cross platform and should not require elevated permissions to install (yay!).
Install
$ python -m pip install ytclip
Running
$ cd <MY_DIRECTORY>
$ ytclip
Add new video:
url: ...
start_timestamp: 08:08
end_timestamp: 08:20
output_name: my_file
$ cd <MY_DIRECTORY>
$ ytclip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLXt3yh2g0s --start_timestamp 00:32 --end_timestamp 00:52 --outname myoutputfile
$ ytclip --help
Api
You can also use it as an api:
from ytclip.ytclip import run_download_and_cut
run_download_and_cut(
url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wtIMTCHWuI",
start_timestamp="1:10",
end_timestamp="1:30",
outname="myclip_withoutsuffix")
You can also turn off logging like so:
from ytclip.ytclip import run_download_and_cut, set_logging
set_logging(False)
run_download_and_cut(...)
