Read video with ffmpeg using moviepy

Question

I have a video with variable frame rate, as I found out, moviepy does not support this. I know that ffmpeg has this functionality: ffmpeg-i <input> - filter:v fps=30 <output>, but this is an inefficient method because I have to render the same video twice (the first is to stabilize it, and the second is when I use moviepy). Is there a way to combine them in one operation ? (I mean instant reading video with constant frame rate)

The ffmpeg command is just a thin wrapper around the ffmpeg libraries. Anything you can script can, of course, be done with the library. You might look at https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python to see if it can solve your problem.
