💖 PYMECAVIDEO(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're doing the pymecavideo man page and it's lowkey the most useful thing ever if you're into mechanics. it's a manual page, section 1, and yes it's giving "pedagogical program to teach mechanics" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pymecavideo — a pedagogical program to teach mechanics 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pymecavideo [{-d | --debug=} verbosity (level: 1 to 3)]
            [filename.{avi|mpg|...} | filename.mecavideo]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: pymecavideo is a program that tracks a set of moving points in a video frameset. that's the whole thing, that's the assignment. 💅

you can modify the size of the image (yes, resize, go off), then you track the relevant points, and then you export a file containing the timecode and the coordinates — which you then hand off to be analyzed by some other standard software. it's the group project where your part is the tracking and somebody else's part is the math. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -d level, --debug=level — declares the level of verbosity to debug the application. this level is zero by default (so like, no debug messages, it's silent, it's chill), and it can take values from 1 to 3.

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • filename.{avi|mpg|...} — defines some video file to begin with. it's optional, no pressure, you don't have to. 🙈
  • filename.mecavideo — allows one to open a full context saved in a previous session. basically a save file, a glow-up of your past self's work. 🔥
