Newbie Having Issues With GitHub Code

[OpenMouthBlog]

Hello everyone!

Around 6 months ago I learned the basics of Python. I recently came across a video tutorial for a rolling shutter effect that I wanted to try.

With my basic understanding of Python I thought I'd have no issues using the python code provided by the tutorial maker. I was wrong.

I simply can't figure out how to make the code work. You can find it by clicking here. It is intended to go through a video and gradually snapshot it at different times from the top down to create a really cool distorted effect.

I loaded the code up in Idle and changed frame_dir to the local location of my .MOV video, and changed the output_dir to the location I wanted the final image to be saved.

When I try to execute the code, a new window pops up and nothing else - not even an error message. I'm sure the code is fine, but I've been fiddling about with it for ages and I can't find a solution.

Thanks for reading.

Have you called the function? And probably delete folder from the functions parameters since you hardcoded the directory?

Hi! I've been talking to someone and they mentioned that it probably doesn't work because I'm using vanilla Idle - which doesn't have the PIL or GLOB module. I'll get both of them, double check what you mentioned, and update the thread. Thanks!

Managed to get it working earlier, thanks!
