Creating_a_thumbnail

[JvSdv]

Description

Create a thumbnail for the video using the PRAW library.

• thumbnail : Need to put the thumbnail.png image in the assets/backgrounds folder.
• font_family : The font family to use for the title.
• font_size : The font size to use for the title.
• font_color : The font color to use for the title.
• width,height : The width of the thumbnail is based on the thumbnail image.

1. Thumbnail created takes the image of the assets and writes the title post on top of this image.
2. The thumbnail is then saved in the assets/{id}/temp folder.
3. And finally the thumbnail is saved in the results/{subreddit}/thumbnails folder.

Awesome pull request! Can you send an example of a thumbnail that's generated?

Put any image in assets/backgrounds folder (.png)

I would just change this to drop an image in the folder and it will use that as the background

That's possible if you put a thumbnail.png in the assets/backgrounds/ folder. Or do you mean something else?

[JvSdv]

That's right. maybe change the name to background.png or something else?

I think it shouldn't be in the assets folder since it's only for media generated by the bot. Maybe utils?

This is generated by the bot though??

Sorry for not being clear. I was talking about the input background image. The assets folder is mostly for temp files and can be easily removed for bug fixing. The end thumbnail will go at the results folder if I remember correctly.

But now there are more PRs with customization and they're using the assets folder too so we'll keep it also in this PR.

From what I understand about this MR, the background image is generated by the bot and yeah it should definitely end up in results if it's going to be an output
