ffmpeg-python

A Pythonic wrapper for FFmpeg that enables complex signal graphs through chainable operator calls.

This library acts as a high-level interface for FFmpeg, replacing messy command-line string construction with a clean, functional API. It handles complex filter graphs (like overlaying a watermark or scaling 4K video) by treating streams as objects. You can pipe a 1080p source through a flip filter and output it to a local buffer with just three lines of code. It includes built-in support for asynchronous I/O and provides a .view() method to generate Graphviz diagrams of your processing pipeline, ensuring your logic is sound before you trigger a heavy transcode.
