I think you have to distinguish between tasks that are supposed to happen in preparing videos and others that can or should happen during playout, depending on your usage scenario. Liquidsoap can do some of the things you are looking for, but not all of them and is aimed towards realtime usage... http://liquidsoap.fm/download.html

Generally I would say that all you want to do could be done with a combination of OpenCV, Ffmpeg and liquidsoap.
