A Python tool to create slideshows out of images - super fast! 😃
cmdshow provides a wide range of options to customize the slideshow, while also setting sensible defaults when you needed that slideshow yesterday. A user-friendly CLI as well as a GUI are available, whichever camp you belong to.
At the most basic level, all you need to do is enter the path to your directory of images - simple as that! cmdshow will create a video slideshow out of the images in the given directory, add some background music and some transition effects and generally make it look good. For a list of all configuration options, see the CLI help below
- PATH_TO_MUSIC: None (no music will be added)
- FRAME_DURATION: 5s
- TRANSIITON_DURATION: 2s
- TRANSIITON_TYPE: fade
- RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
- FRAMES_PER_SECOND: 15
- OUTPUT_PATH: ./output.mp4
Note: Setting FRAMES_PER_SECOND lower than 10 may result in choppy transitions.
