Tip

We highly recommend using uv to install FastVideo. In our experience, uv speeds up installation by at least 3x.

Or you can create a new Python environment using uv, a very fast Python environment manager. Please follow the documentation to install uv. After installing uv, you can create a new Python environment using the following command:

# (Recommended) Create a new uv environment. Use `--seed` to install `pip` and `setuptools` in the environment.
uv venv --python 3.12 --seed
source .venv/bin/activate

Dependencies#

brew install ffmpeg

Installation#

pip install fastvideo

# or if you are using uv
uv pip install fastvideo
