In this article we will see how we can save a single frame at given time of the video file clip in MoviePy. MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations on videos and GIF’s. Video is formed by the frames, combination of frames creates a video each frame is an individual image. We can store the specific frame at any time.
In order to do this we will use save_frame
method with the VideoFileClip object
Syntax : clip.save_frame(“frame.png”, t)
Argument : It takes image name as argument and time as optional argument
Return : It returns None
Below is the implementation
from moviepy.editor import *
clip = VideoFileClip( "dsa_geek.webm" )
clip = clip.subclip( 0 , 5 )
clip.save_frame( "frame2.png" , t = 2 )
clip.ipython_display(width = 360 )
|
Output :
Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
Below is the saved image
Another example
from moviepy.editor import *
clip = VideoFileClip( "geeks.mp4" )
duration = clip.duration
clip.save_frame( "frame1.png" , t = 1 )
clip.ipython_display(width = 360 )
|
Output :
Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
MoviePy - Writing audio in __temp__TEMP_MPY_wvf_snd.mp3
MoviePy - Done.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
Below is how the saved image will look like
