Running from Python source

In order to run from source code you need to first build a Python extension and then run the app as follows, from within the source code folder:

$ python3 setup.py build_ext -i
$ python3 -m vidcutter

Working installations of libmpv and ffmpeg must be pre-installed for your specific OS. For Linux, package names are usually named libmpv1 or mpv and ffmpeg. For the media information option to work you'll also need a working install of mediainfo.

You will need Python packages pyopengl and simplejson pre-installed, via pip install pyopengl simplejson or distro packages, and a working PyQt5 + Qt5 libraries installation. Windows users can simply pip install PyQt5 to be up and running, Linux users should install a relevant PyQt5 package from their Linux distribution's package manager. Linux package names for PyQt5 are usually named python-pyqt5 or python3-pyqt5 and will take care of the Qt5 side of things too.
