I need to:

  1. Open a video file
  2. Iterate over the frames of the file as images
  3. Do some analysis in this image frame of the video
  4. Draw in this image of the video
  5. Create a new video with these changes

OpenCV isn't working for my webcam, but python-gst is working. Is this possible using python-gst?

Thank you!

Do you mean opencv can't connect to your webcam or can't read video files recorded by it?

Have you tried saving the video in an other format?

OpenCV is probably the best supported python image processing tool
