Iterator over segments of a video file, which is split into fixed-size segments of length segment_duration seconds. Args: duration: Video segment duration in seconds overlap: Overlap between consecutive segments in seconds. Only available for mode='fast'. min_segment_duration: Drop the last segment if it is smaller than min_segment_duration. mode: Segmentation mode: - 'fast': Quick segmentation using stream copy (splits only at keyframes, approximate durations) - 'accurate': Precise segmentation with re-encoding (exact durations, slower) video_encoder: Video encoder to use. If not specified, uses the default encoder for the current platform. Only available for mode='accurate'. video_encoder_args: Additional arguments to pass to the video encoder. Only available for mode='accurate'. View source on GitHub

Methods

​
accurate_iter()

Signature: 
accurate_iter()-> Iterator[dict[str, Any]]

​
close()

Close the iterator and release all resources Signature: 
close()-> None

​
create()

Signature: 
create(**kwargs: Any)-> tuple[type[ComponentIterator], dict[str, Any]]

​
fast_iter()

Signature: 
fast_iter()-> Iterator[dict[str, Any]]

​
input_schema()

Provide the Pixeltable types of the init() parameters The keys need to match the names of the init() parameters. This is equivalent to the parameters_types parameter of the @function decorator. Signature: 
input_schema()-> dict[str, pixeltable.type_system.ColumnType]

​
output_schema()

Specify the dictionary returned by next() and a list of unstored column names Signature: 
output_schema(
    *args: Any,
    **kwargs: Any
)-> tuple[dict[str, pixeltable.type_system.ColumnType], list[str]]
Returns:
  • tuple[dict[str, pixeltable.type_system.ColumnType], list[str]]: a dictionary which is turned into a list of columns in the output table a list of unstored column names

​
set_pos()

Set the iterator position to pos Signature: 
set_pos(pos: int)-> None
