A simple music video¶
This is an example, with no sound (lame for a music video), soon to be replaced with a real music video example (the code will be 99% the same). The philosophy of MoviePy is that for each new music video I will make, I will just have to copy/paste this code, and modify a few lines.

# RAW FOOTAGE
