Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
I have a small YT channel [1] and I used to spend 30-40 mins recording and then 2-4 hrs editing to get a final 10-15 min video.<p>Then I fully scripted my video editing using Python+MoviePy [2]. The time savings are sweet. I just feed it my raw video and get the finished video a few minutes later. It cuts out all the dead air as well as the parts I don't want (which I indicate in-video).<p>In general scripting video editing is faster and more scalable compared to mousing around and making tiny cuts in a graphical video editor.<p>[1]: <a href="http://youtube.com/c/VivekHaldar" rel="nofollow">http://youtube.com/c/VivekHaldar</a>
