Gajevids Schema

Provides YAML validation and autocompletion for gajevids.yml, the configuration file used in Gajevids — a command-line tool for automated FFmpeg video composition.

What is Gajevids?

Gajevids is a CLI tool that automatically composes multiple video files using YAML configuration. You define the input videos, transitions, and sequence using simple, human-readable files.

Key Features

  • Simple YAML Configuration — Easy-to-read syntax for video editing
  • Automatic Timeline Calculation — Start times are automatically computed
  • Rich Transitions — Supports fade, dissolve, slide, and many more
  • Cross-platform — Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (via WSL)

Getting Started with Gajevids

Install the Gajevids CLI using Homebrew:

# Add the Gajevids tap
brew tap gajeroll/gajevids

# Install the CLI
brew install gajevids

Once installed, you can run:

# Generate an example config file
gajevids --example

# Compose videos based on a YAML config
gajevids example_gajevids.yml

# View help
gajevids --help

Features of This Extension

This VSCode extension provides:

  • Full schema validation for gajevids.yml
  • Autocompletion for keys like videos, transitions, timeline
  • Hover tooltips and error highlighting based on gajevids.schema.json

How to Use

  1. Open or create a file named gajevids.yml (or gajevids.yaml) in VSCode.
