7 | 7 | > MoviePy recently upgraded to v2.0, introducing major breaking changes. You can consult the last v1 docs [here](https://zulko.github.io/moviepy/v1.0.3/) but beware that v1 is no longer maintained. For more info on how to update your code from v1 to v2, see [this guide](https://zulko.github.io/moviepy/getting_started/updating_to_v2.html). |

14 | | -MoviePy can read and write all the most common audio and video formats, |
15 | | -including GIF, and runs on Windows/Mac/Linux, with Python 3.9+. |
| 11 | +Under the hood, MoviePy imports media (video frames, images, sounds) and converts them into Python objects (numpy arrays) so that every pixel becomes accessible from a Python script. This makes it possible to apply any video or audio transformation that the Python language can express, and defining a new effects just takes a few lines of code (see the [built-in effects]() for examples). The library also provides utilities to easily mix clips together (concatenations, playing clips side by side or on top of each other with transparency, etc.). The final clip is then encoded back into mp4/webm/gif/etc. This makes MoviePy very flexible albeit slower than using ffmpeg directly due to heavier data import/export operations. |
