Python Video Processing

• Candidate python library: Moviepy
• Current experiments: Python Video Processing

Goals

• Load video from URL
• Create a subclip
• Compression customization / output codec options
• Unit tests

Learnings

• Need to explore more libraries but candidate library is stable and usable.
• Chunks are loaded for the subclip when writing the subclip — faster seek but save time will depend on subclip length and compression (codec).

Update — 2026

Work on this has resumed under a new project. Early groundwork is in place and progress is ongoing. More details to follow as things take shape.
