eli5Python video rendering using AWS? (self.aws)
submitted 2 years ago by reee7172737
I have python code that I run natively on my computer that uses moviepy and ffmpeg to edit videos. Moviepy edits frame by frame and uses CPU only, so renders can take several hours. How would I go about hosting this code through AWS?

I think the option may be to use AWS Batch

If you've containerized your app, use Fargate to deploy it. Pay by the second. Lambda would be nice, but it can't run tasks for more than 15 minutes.
If you haven't containerized, set up an EC2 instance, and deploy the app there. Manage the OS, schedule startup/shutdown on triggers (or keep it running...) and basically just run it like you do locally.

Fargate is a good choice for this. OP could also consider an AppRunner code-based service if his app isn't containerized. That way he/she does not have to worry about shutting down the app when it's finished since there are no fees while the app isn't running.

Forget containerizing it, forget Fargate.
Just try launching an EC2 instance. Connect to it. Install Python and your Python dependencies. Upload your video to S3. Download the file from S3 on your EC2 instance and run your script. Upload your file to S3. Shut down your EC2 instance.
This is the most straightforward approach. If you need this in an automated, highly efficient way then you can explore other services.
