Version 1.0.3: Hello World, MoviePy 2.0!

Changelog

Version 1.0.3 (main.py)

Added Features

Major Updates

• Library Upgrade:
  • The project has been updated to use MoviePy 2.0, bringing enhanced performance and new features.

Other Adjustments

• Emotion Clip Adjustments:
  • The height of the emotion clip is now reduced by an additional 50 pixels when resizing, providing better visual alignment.
  • The calculation of video_width and character_width is now based on the dimensions of the first clip in the self.clips list, ensuring accurate positioning of emotion clips.
• Recursive character image lookup
  • The script automatically retrieves the character images inside the character folder instead of hardcoding the characters
• Statics folder no longer required:
  • The statics folder is no longer needed since the script now automatically creates the white background.

Bug Fixes

• Undefined Variables:
  • Resolved the issue of video_width being undefined by extracting it from the background clip dimensions during the script processing.

Performance Improvements

• Export Settings:
  • Added a preset='ultrafast' option to the write_videofile method to improve the speed of video rendering, which can be beneficial during development and testing phases.

Code Refactoring

• Method Updates:
  • Updated the add_emotion_clip and add_espeech_clip methods to use the new logic for calculating video_width and character_width.
  • Refactored the way emotion clips are resized and positioned, ensuring that margins are applied correctly.

Logging Enhancements

• Debug Logging:
  • Improved logging for debugging purposes, particularly in the export_final_video method, to log the duration of each clip before exporting.
