How can I add video functionality to my python/tkinter project?

I do video recording and editing. After shooting a lot of videos, I like to organize the material by renaming it with shot type, camera movement and other keywords.

I wrote a simple program (with a tkinter GUI) that loops through all the files in a folder and lets me rename them with a text input field and some buttons that add keywords.

It can change a title like IMG_038795.mp4 to something like full_shot_tilt_down_woman.mp4.

The only problem is that, in order to rename them properly, I need to open the file and look at the picture and I have no idea how to do that. Is there a library for something like this?

Thanks for the help!
