Movie Palette Generator

Generate movie palettes from this script.

Example

Palette for Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

Usage and setup:

• Create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv .venv and activate it.
• Install the requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Run python main.py input.mp4 output.png.
• To view other options, use python main.py --help.

Suggestions for video file:

• Resize to 720p
• Set it to 1 frame per second i.e. choose one frame for each second. While this may lead to some loss in information, I don't believe its signifcant. Plus you can set it to whatever you want and see the output for yourself.

FFMPEG command to implement above suggestions:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "fps=1,scale=iw/4:ih/4" output.mp4

I used the scale command to scale down the res to a quarter of the original.
