Here's a blog post showcasing work students made in my "Infinite Video" class at the School for Poetic Computation. In the class we used command-line tools, Python libraries and various machine learning models to analyze, filter, sort, edit, and compose video with code.

The words of the super pissed off commuter (trying to get around the JVP protest at Grand Central) who was screaming “Palestine ruins everything! I want to go to Tarrytown!” will forever be seared in my mind.

A large loaf of bread lay on the table. Father came in with a knife to cut it in half. But even though the knife was big and sharp, and the bread neither too soft nor too hard, the knife could not cut into it. We children looked up at Father in surprise. He said, “Why should you be surprised?"

Quick update: you can now upload your own videos to play with (don't be alarmed, the nazi punch video is still the default), and the "drawtext" filter is working with a few sample fonts.

some have suggested switching to the "big buck bunny" video because it's less "distracting" but honestly I find the big bunny video pretty distracting...

I've been working on a tool to help people explore ffmpeg filters in the browser. You can now use a simple node-based editor to compose complex filtergraphs. User testers wanted!

in an act of terminal procrastination I've made a tool to help people explore FFmpeg filters live in browser: ffmpeg.lav.io/

Still
needs a lot of work -- If anyone is interested doing some bug testing/giving general feedback I'd appreciate it!
