VideoExtender

Overview

VideoExtender is a Python script that extends the duration of a video file to a specified number of hours by repeating its content. It is ideal for creating extended loops of short videos.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• ffmpeg and ffprobe installed on your system. You can install these with a package manager like apt for Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ffmpeg

Installation

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/annaelmoussa/VideoExtender.git
cd VideoExtender

Usage

Run the script from the command line by specifying the input video file, the output video file, and the desired duration in hours:

python3 VideoExtender.py <input_video.mp4> <output_video.mp4> <hours>

Example:

python3 VideoExtender.py video_original.mp4 video_extended.mp4 10

How It Works

The script calculates how many times the original video needs to be repeated to reach approximately the specified duration. It then creates a video that loops the original content until the target duration is met.
