Video to Vector Video

Video processing applies a .lines style to many frames and assembles the rendered frames back into a video. Use the CLI for scripted jobs and vexy-lines-run when you want a GUI.

CLI

vexy-lines-cli style-video --style engraving.lines --input clip.mp4 --output clip-styled.mp4
vexy-lines-cli style-video --style start.lines --end-style finish.lines --input clip.mp4 --output blend.mp4
vexy-lines-cli style-video --style look.lines --input clip.mp4 --output test.mp4 --start-frame 60 --end-frame 180

Useful flags:

Flag	Purpose
--audio=False	Omit source audio
--size 2x	Render at a larger output scale
--relative-style	Scale spatial style parameters to target frame size
--force	Delete the existing job folder and start fresh
--cleanup	Delete the job folder after success

The job folder stores decoded source frames, .lines intermediates, SVG exports, and raster frames. Re-running the same command resumes missing frames instead of starting over.

GUI

pip install vexy-lines-run
vexy-lines-run

Use the Video tab to pick an input video, a style .lines file, optional end style, frame range, output size, and audio setting.

Plan Short Tests

Render a short frame range first. If the style works, run the full clip. Dense fills, large frames, and high output scale can turn a short video into a long render.
