Python tool for making meme top videos. It gets you through a bunch of steps and at the end you'll get a final top video with your own intro and outro and images queried from Yandex Images.
It makes a video from images and background music using ffmpeg. There are two types of images: number images and competitor images (like in most of the meme tops). Number images are generated using imagemagick and competitor images are downloaded from Yandex Images. The whole top is technically a slideshow with cringy looking transitions.
