This script creates posters from a movie file. To do this it takes the average color of a frame every second. For this you can either use sample_avg_color() or full_avg_color(), where sampling is much quicker and returns a color within ±0.5% of the actual average (for a sample rate of 0.01).
This data can then be processed in the three functions create_line_poster, create_wave_poster and create_average_poster.
The runtime of the analyse_frames() function is in O(number_of_frames*frame_height*frame_width), so try to use low-res movies for faster results.
This project was inspired by TCOM
To install necessary packages run:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Can either be used with GUI or CLI arguments, example:
python3 movie_poster_generator.py --gui='false' --video_path='movie.mkv' --randomized_selection='false'
