Bad Apple, But It’s Randomly Colored Over Time

📌 Introduction

Hi! This repository contains Python scripts I used to create a randomly colored version of the Bad Apple video.

If you already have experience with Python and FFmpeg, feel free to skip the setup instructions.

Note: I haven’t tested this on Linux or macOS, so I’ll assume you’re using Windows. However, it should work in any environment with minor adjustments.

For best results, run these scripts in VS Code, as your OS might not execute them directly. VS Code will prompt you to trust the folder—don’t worry, there’s no virus here.

⚙️ Setup Instructions

1. Install Python

Make sure you have Python installed. If not, there are plenty of tutorials online to guide you through it.

2. Install Dependencies

Open a terminal in the repository folder and run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Extract Audio from Video

ffmpeg -i bad_apple.mp4 -q:a 0 -map a audio.wav

4. Extract Frames (Takes Time)

python extract.py

• This will create an extract_frames folder containing individual frames from the video.

5. Colorize Frames (Takes Time)

python change_color.py

• This will generate a colored_frames folder with randomly colored frames.

6. Enjoy!

python play.py

• Press Q to exit!

🎥 How to Make Your Own Colored Videos

1. Want to recolor the frames?
   • Delete the colored_frames folder and rerun change_color.py.
2. Accidentally deleted extract_frames?
   • Just rerun extract.py—but make sure to keep the original video (bad_apple.mp4) in the folder.
