Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python

Originally, this library was created due to my motivation to make videos in Python. Of course, I considered other Python libraries, but I decided to create a new library for video editing because I needed the following features and also for study purposes:

- The existence of composition. Especially, the ability to perform advanced video editing by inserting compositions within compositions.

- The ability to add animations based on keyframes.

- Effects like chroma key and drop shadow.

- A caching mechanism to render the same frame quickly.

- Various blending modes.

These features, despite being standard in proprietary video editing software, were not present in previous Python libraries. Currently, I am using this library to automatically generate videos from raw materials. I would be grateful for any comments, thoughts, or requests.
