The library currently lacks an intuitive method to concatenate or join multiple videos. A new interface, concatenate, needs to be designed and implemented to provide this functionality. Additionally, to make the operation more Pythonic and user-friendly, we should support the use of the __add__ magic method.
Proposed Interface:
1. Concatenate Method:
def concatenate(videos: List[Video]) -> Video:
"""
Concatenate multiple video objects in the order they appear in the list.
Args:
- videos (List[Video]): A list of video objects to be concatenated.
Returns:
- Video: A new video object that represents the concatenated videos.
"""
Usage Example:
concatenated_video = Video.concatenate([video1, video2, video3])
2. Overload __add__ method:
The __add__ method should be implemented in the Video class to allow the use of the + operator for concatenating videos.
Usage Example:
concatenated_video = video1 + video2 + video3
Expected Outcome:
- Users should be able to easily concatenate multiple video objects using the proposed
concatenate method.
- The
+ operator should concatenate video objects seamlessly, offering an intuitive and Pythonic way to join videos.
Additional Notes:
- We need to ensure videos have the same resolution, frame rate, and other properties or decide how to handle discrepancies.
- It would be good to add error handling for mismatched video properties or provide options to automatically adjust them.
- We can do validation with the
pydantic library.
