A small utility to speed-up my meme generation pipeline.
It can convert videos with squared proportion (classic instagram post) to a vertical video (TikTok, Instagram stories, Instagram Reels).
The script takes a folder as input and convert all the file with the extension *.mp4 into a vertical format.
It simply add padding upside and downside.
The image below gives a roughly idea of how the script works:
To install all the requirements just type:
pip install -r requirements.txtTo run the script simply put in the root directory all the folder containing the files that you need to convert and then type:
python convertTikTok.py
You will find all the vertical files inside the folder named Tiktok
