Usage example

When you start main.py, PyQt will open this window:

• Button + checkbox 'File' to choose source (unchecked - webcam, checked - your own MP4 file)
• Use button browse to choose path to save output
• Scale factor is the coefficient of scale for sliding window algorithm (higher means less accurancy but higher speed)
• Slider blur allows you to choose coefficient if Gaussian Blur for image
• Push 'Start' button to start this program. It will become 'Stop' to allow you to stop writing file.

Program in action:

File choosing window:

If you don't choose file source, you'll get error:

To solve it choose correct .mp4 file or remove check in 'File' checkbox (this means you want to use webcam instead)

If you don't choose saving folder, you'll get another error:

To solve it just choose correct path to save

And the last error is unavalible haar cascade:

To solve it just put your cascade in project folder with name haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml
