It handles tasks like inserting static images or animated GIFs into videos at specific timestamps and coordinates, converting image sequences into video files, and overlaying text watermarks. The package offers both simple function calls for common operations and a fluent Stream API for chaining multiple transformations together.\n\nThe package depends entirely on external FFmpeg and FFprobe binaries installed on your system\u2014it has no Python runtime dependencies. However, it has been unmaintained since October 2018, meaning it may not work reliably with current FFmpeg versions, modern Python releases, or GPU acceleration features without manual fixes.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release October 2018) and has no Python runtime dependencies to insulate it from FFmpeg API drift. Unless you are working with an old, fixed FFmpeg version and can patch the package yourself, you should use a maintained FFmpeg wrapper or call FFmpeg directly via subprocess. The high install friction combined with zero maintenance makes this a liability rather than a convenience."},"id":"ffmpeg","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ffmpeg","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ffmpeg.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ffmpeg/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-10-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ffmpeg","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"ffmpeg python package url [https://github.com/jiashaokun/ffmpeg]"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":454903,"position":6564,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4"}
