# vidcrush
Reencodes the specified input video file, reducing the video size, by default at 1/2 width and height.
## Requirements
* Python 3.6+
* macOS 10.14+
* HandBrakeCLI, installed in `/Applications`
## Install
* Clone this repository.
* Open a terminal and `cd` to this repository's directory.
* `pip3 install -r requirements.txt`
* Add this repository to your `$PATH` variable so that `vidcrush.py` can be run from anywhere.
## Usage
```
$ vidcrush.py --help
usage: vidcrush.py [-h] [-s SCALE] [-r] video_filepaths [video_filepaths ...]
Reencode video files at a smaller size.
positional arguments:
video_filepaths
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s SCALE, --scale SCALE
fraction to multiply the original video dimensions by
-r, --replace replaces the original video file
```
The output video will be scaled to 50% the original size.
The output video will be put in the same directory as the input video with a suffix reflecting how much the video was scaled down. For example a input `video.mp4` would generate an output `video-0.5.mp4` by default.
If `--replace` is specified then the input video will be replaced with the output video, with the input video moved to the trash (or recycle bin).
## Running Tests
There aren't any tests yet but you can run the typechecker using:
