BLIND-FROM-VIDEO(1)

📦 version 1.1, in alpine 3.24

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for blind-from-video(1) — the command that converts a regular, cooked video to a blind video. it's giving "glow-up for your video file," and we're keeping every single detail, no cap. ✨

🎬 SYNOPSIS 🎬

blind-from-video [-r frame-rate] [-w width -h height] [-dL] input-file output-file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

blind-from-video takes the video in input-file, converts it to a format usable by the blind tools, and prints the new video to output-file. input-file and — unless you're using -L — output-file must be regular files. input-file has to be a normal video file with a container (i.e. not raw video) that is supported by ffmpeg(1). It is unspecified what happens if input-file does not have exactly one video stream. All non-video streams, such as audio and subtitles, are discarded. periodt. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -d — does a coarse colour-model conversion. This will increase the performance of the conversion, but modifications to the colours will not produce the expected colours. It's useful for drafting or if you will not modify the colours. If you use this flag, you should also use it in blind-to-video(1), otherwise the colours will be modified. 💀
  • -h height — changes the height of the video to height.
  • -L — writes to stdout that the number of frames in the video is 0. This allows you to use a non-regular file, including a pipe, as output-file. If you specify '-' as the output-file, the video is printed to stdout. This option is useful if you want to split a video into multiple videos, because it allows you to split the video without having to store the entire raw video to disc. If you use this option, you can use blind-split(1) to write the actual number of frames to the head, if this is needed. 🫶
  • -r frame-rate — changes the frame rate of the video to frame-rate. This value can be a rational.
  • -w width — changes the width of the video to width.

okay that's the whole page, bestie. the footer vibe is source/version blind 1.1, and there's no date listed in it, so we're not inventing one — that's the source/version and date situation, fr fr. 💜
