+# bipack
+
+Script for simulating traveling mattes with ffmpeg. 
+
+## Requirements
+
+Uses `ffmpeg` to generate matte files, apply mattes as alpha masks and render final video.
+
+Installation instructions for ffmpeg here: https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring/wiki/Installing-FFmpeg
+
+## Usage
+
+
+
+`sh bipack.sh A.mp4 B.mp4 matte.mp4 output.mov`
