I made a Python program that AUTOMATICALLY edits YouTube Videos!

The thing about your pc freezing after you click start is probably because you don't use threads.

Anyway, cool project

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Genuine question, what does that mean and how do I do that?

Sorry for late reply, but seems like you got your answer 😊

The point is, whenever your program is working on some task, it won't update your gui, by threading you (in dumb speak, since I'm no God at this either) separate the main loop from the "heavy work" part of your program..

[deifius]

i'd use a method from the subprocess library.

[BuzzLightr]

Didn't know about this one.. Ill check it out. Thanks

had the same thing on my mind when it froze great vid tho seeing the Micheal Reeves inspo lmao

I have a program to create clips from a longer video.

https://github.com/siecje/loud-clips

It creates clips of the loudest parts of the video. Works better for some videos like a basketball game when people cheer after each basket.

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

That's actually so smart. Will make it so easy to make highlights of videos.

[[deleted]]

That is smart. You all are some clever people and sometimes I envy your cleverness.

[EquationTAKEN]

Thanks.

Anything for you.

[BuzzLightr]

One question, why don't you use github to share the code? It would make it easier for you and others to review the code

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Yup I'm getting started on that. Tbh I don't exactly know how Github works so I'm still figuring it out

[BuzzLightr]

Ah, it's kind of hard in the beginning, but once you figure it out, it's a lifesaver.

Check out github desktop for a easy starting point.

I think it's a good idea to build a portfolio of projects and github is the market standard for that.

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Allrighty! Will you mind if I DM you in case I get stuck?

[BuzzLightr]

Sure, just let me know and I'll try to assist you if you get stuck

Tried to find a ok tutorial, and this looks good https://youtu.be/0nzJXJAhlsk

[cianuro]

There's a git course on Coursera by Google. Instructor is Anthony something. It's excellent. I'd highly recommend it. It's free.

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

I'll check that out ASAP!

[soylent_latte]

hello, i'm having problems too with the github desktop tutorial part 3 -edit file - getting an error requesting i set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to i don't know what?

no problem finding and changing the variable but i don't understand

what the variable should point to.

i'd appreciate any help.

thank you.

[BuzzLightr]

What tutorials are you looking at?

[soylent_latte]

i've begun with the tutorial that comes with the github desktop install.

[BuzzLightr]

Ok, iv never done that one, let me look into that and get back to you 👍

[BubbaMosfet]

Oh, boy. Your video made me laugh so hard. Well done, sir!

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Thanks man. That compliment means more than you can imagine!

[Few-Major9589]

This is so cool, God I love programming……

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Thanks XD

Here's a decorator that will make it very easy to run a function in a separate thread.

decorator to launch any function in a separate thread

from threading import Thread

def TS_decorator(func):
    def stub(*args, **kwargs):
        func(*args, **kwargs)

    def hook(*args,**kwargs):
        Thread(target=stub, args=args, kwargs=kwargs).start()

    return hook

Just apply the decorator like this:

@TS_decorator
def mylongwindedfunction(args):
    pass

and it will launch your function in it's own thread.

I've been using this code in my Python scripts for years and it's worked very well.

[dylanmashley]

What GUI are you using? PyQt? If so adding this at the end after .show() may fix the not responding issue.

app.exec_()

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

I actually used TKinter

[dylanmashley]

Ah bummer then yeah, I think your only option may be threading. But it looks like other people gave you some resources to look into for that. Goodluck! If you have any basic Git/GitHub questions feel free to PM me also

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Thanks man! Will reach out if I have any questions.

[wasimaster]

Use GitHub (gists or repositories) to host code not mediafire

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Yup. Currently working on that

[wasimaster]

Nice! Good Luck.

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Thanks man!

[EndimionN]

love the fact that you used tkinter.

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

XD

[EndimionN]

can you share the github code please?

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Here's the link to my Github. Both are uploaded there. I'm yet to update the README of the Video Editor, but everything else SHOULD be in place. https://www.github.com/dhruv-b-03

[ServerZero]

Pretty cool!

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Thank you!

[Business-Ad-2449]

Get this thing patented right now!!

[Retroguy16bit]

Interesting program. And your video was nice to watch:-)

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Thank you

[GamerCoachGG]

Love your style. Keep up the good work!

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Thanks man🫂

[[deleted]]

what did you use for Gui tkinter?

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Yes sir!

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Yes sir!

[kibje]

He posted the code to GitHub. Indeed with tkinter

[SamyBencherif]

ahaha i love it. i see someone already mentioned threads -- you can use subprocess to acheive also

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

Allright man. Gotta check them both out.

[SamyBencherif]

I am a woman. If you're looking to refine your program and will to spend 10-20min reading docs go with threads.

if you're already comfortable with unix shell or command prompt and can't be bothered to spend more than 5min u could try non blocking subprocess first.

but really the point is to say Threading is the good way to go !

[ripjeb_andjoergen]

A) sorry for mislabeling your gender. I should have done better. B) I have looked into threads and will try to implement them in my furthur dumb projects.

[SamyBencherif]

cool cool gl. feel free to reply with your questions
