Effortlessly shorten videos.

abridge can automatically shorten video files by removing parts from the video where not much happens. This is great for making timelapse videos more engaging and removes the need for manual editing to cut these dead spots from the videos.

pip install abridge

abridge makes use of moviepy, which releys on ffmpeg. ffmpeg should be installed when the package is installed, but this may not work on some systems.

adbridge can be run as a docker image, which gaurentees it will run on all systems.

docker pull freshollie/abridge:latest

docker run freshollie/abridge

usage: abridge [-h] [-w workers] [-o outdir] [-t diff-threshold]
               [-r repetition-threshold]
               clip [clip ...]
