Requirements

How to use

Let's suppose your lecture videos are stored in a directory named lecture-videos

# Go inside the directory lecture-videos
# Let's say the folder structure is as follow
# ./
# Module 01/
# |- Lecture 01\video1.mp4
# |- Lecture 02\video2.mp4

# Move all screenshots
python -m move_scr.py

# It will make a new folder name 'Done' where it will move the video file as well are screenshots
# Make PDF
python -m create_pdf.py
