Actually, it doesn't seem like a reasonable request to me. There's nothing
in the OP's question that suggests that he needs a Python library to do
this. In fact, your first suggestion:

has nothing to do with Python.
Unless the OP specifically needs to do this through Python, I would
recommend asking on forums specifically about video editing.

"Barrel distortion", like the subject line says :-)
