Turn Voice Recordings into Shareable Videos with Python and FFmpeg

What's this blog post about?

In this tutorial, we learn how to create an application with Python and FFmpeg that turns voice recordings into shareable videos for social media. The requirements include one or more voice recordings stored in a Twilio account, Python 3.6+ installed, and FFmpeg version 4.3.1 or newer installed. We create the project structure with directories for images, fonts, videos, and recordings. We then use Python's subprocess module to call FFmpeg commands that generate a video from an audio file, obtain the duration of a recording, convert audio to video, add a spinning record on top of the background, and add text to the video. The final result is a shareable video with sound waves, a spinning record, and a title.
