    "backgroundColor": "#1E1E1E",

      "general": {
        "font": "./resources/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf",
        "color": "ffffff"
      },
      "footer":  {
        "font": "./resources/BebasNeue-Regular.ttf",
        "color": "#fbbc09"
      }
    }
  },

    {
      "name": "De drones a developer",
      "time": [831, 950],
      "text": ["Top Text", "Bottom Text"]
    }
  ]
}

Note: You can use fonts that are allowed by MoviePy. You can check here to know which fonts are supported. But also, you can add a custom file using a .ttf file.

Preview Clips

1. Run python main.py -p ./[projectName].json
2. It is going to create a dir with the name of your project. Inside this file you can have small clips with just text and styles. (No video).

Note: It's useful when you need to know how your clips are going to look. Process to generate clips takes time so this option helps you to check if all is fine before generate clips.

Generate Clips

1. Run python main.py -g ./[projectName].json
2. It is going to create a dir with the name of your project. Inside this file you can all your clips.
