Prerequisites: Python Programming Language There are several libraries and techniques available in Python for the conversion of Video to Audio. One such library is Movie Editor. MoviePy can read and write all the most common audio and video formats, including GIF, and runs on Windows/Mac/Linux, with Python 2.7+ and 3 (or only Python 3.4+ from v.1.0)
Installation
To install the Movie Editor Library, open terminal and write :
pip install moviepy
Note: This module automatically installs FFmpeg. However, you might prompt to install in some cases.
Installing FFmpeg
Windows:
- Download the build from here.
- Unzip the build in any folder.
- Open the CMD with administrative rights.
