First of all love this program!
I'm in a slight bit of a rush and might make a proper PR later, but here is some updated code thats a bit faster

import os
import subprocess
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog, messagebox, scrolledtext
import re

def select_file(filetypes, title):
    return filedialog.askopenfilename(filetypes=filetypes, title=title)

def get_audio_duration(audio_path):
    cmd = [
        "ffprobe", "-v", "error",
        "-show_entries", "format=duration",
        "-of", "default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1",
        audio_path
    ]
    result = subprocess.run(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)
    return float(result.stdout.strip())

def hms_to_seconds(hms):
    h, m, s = hms.split(":")
    return int(h) * 3600 + int(m) * 60 + float(s)

def create_video():
    image_path = select_file([("Image Files", "*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png")], "Select an Image")
    if not image_path:
        return

    audio_path = select_file([("Audio Files", "*.mp3;*.wav")], "Select an Audio File")
    if not audio_path:
        return

    output_folder = os.path.dirname(audio_path)
    output_name = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(audio_path))[0] + ".mp4"
    output_path = os.path.join(output_folder, output_name)

    duration = get_audio_duration(audio_path)

    command = [
        "ffmpeg",
        "-y",
        "-loop", "1",
        "-i", image_path,
        "-i", audio_path,
        "-c:v", "libx264",
        "-preset", "ultrafast",
        "-tune", "stillimage",
        "-pix_fmt", "yuv420p",
        "-r", "30",
        "-c:a", "aac",
        "-b:a", "384k",
        "-shortest",
        "-movflags", "+faststart",
        output_path
    ]

    console_output.delete("1.0", tk.END)
    console_output.insert(tk.END, "Starting conversion...\n")

    process = subprocess.Popen(
        command,
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
        stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
        text=True,
        bufsize=1
    )

    time_pattern = re.compile(r"time=(\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+)")

    for line in process.stdout:
        match = time_pattern.search(line)
        if match:
            current_time = hms_to_seconds(match.group(1))
            percent = min((current_time / duration) * 100, 100)
            console_output.insert(
                tk.END,
                f"\rProgress: {percent:.1f}% ({current_time:.1f}s / {duration:.1f}s)\n"
            )
        else:
            console_output.insert(tk.END, line)

        console_output.see(tk.END)
        console_output.update_idletasks()

    process.wait()

    if process.returncode == 0:
        messagebox.showinfo("Success", f"MP4 created successfully:\n{output_path}")
    else:
        messagebox.showerror("Error", "FFmpeg failed. Ensure FFmpeg is installed.")

# Create GUI
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Music Video Maker")
root.geometry("600x350")

tk.Label(root, text="Convert an image and audio file into an MP4 video").pack(pady=5)
tk.Label(root, text="Supported file types: JPG, PNG, MP3, WAV").pack(pady=5)
convert_button = tk.Button(root, text="Select Files & Convert", command=create_video)
convert_button.pack(pady=10)

console_output = scrolledtext.ScrolledText(root, height=12, width=70)
console_output.pack(pady=10)

root.mainloop()

MAIN CHANGES

  1. Uses bitrate of 384k which is max for youtube, because audio quality should be max no matter what (a little unrelated to speed)
  2. adds -preset ultrafast -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 30 in the ffmpeg argument string array thing to speed up encoding
  3. adds get_audio_duration so users can see what percent of encoding is done. mabye a new feature after this could be estimated time?
  4. Thats it 👍
