# Render pan.do/ra edit into mp4

process currently consists of 2 stages:

- create a json edl for the edit
- extract clips and encode to a single mp4


# create json edit

    $ python3 edit.py <edit url>

if the url to the edit includes the sort order, i.e. year, this will be used,
you will be asked to enter your username, password for the site.
There are 2 modes, by default the video is downloaded from the site, you can also use a local backend to use the source material, for that, pass -s local and possibly set a prefix -p /Cinema (otherwise the prefix will be taken from pandora_client configuration)

# encode video

    $ python3 ffmpeg.py <playlist.json>

This will create playlist.mp4
