# Thumbnails

## Installation

Installing dependencies can be a really painful experience, painful enough to scare you away.

You should install the following packages:

+ Python 3 (of course)

+ Pillow (PIL)

+ ffmpeg

+ PyAV

If you have managed to install all above, congratulations! Enjoy~!

## Usage

The only thing that is currently very much needed to configure is the font. You should carefully choose a truetype font,

something like `*.ttf` and put it in the current directory, specify the font name in `thumbnail.py`. Done!

You may notice that files are renamed and some temporary files are created when running the program. This is due to the

ridiculous bug in PyAV which nobody cares. I would really appreciate it if someone could repair this bug.
