uv#

Tip

We highly recommend using uv to install FastVideo. In our experience, uv speeds up installation by at least 3x. Note that you can also use uv to install FastVideo in a Conda environment.

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
