MoviePy – Changing Display Frame of Video Clip

In this article we will see how we can change display frames 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. Display frames are the single image i.e single frame of the video, video consist of many frames, we can change the display frames using moviepy.

In order to do this we will use fl_image method with the VideoFileClip object
Syntax : clip.fl_image(method)
Argument : It takes time method as argument
Return : It returns VideoFileClip object 

Below is the implementation  

Python3

# Import everything needed to edit video clips
from moviepy.editor import *


# loading video dsa gfg intro video
clip = VideoFileClip("dsa_geek.webm")

# getting only first 5 seconds
clip = clip.subclip(0, 5)

# method for inverting image
def invert_image(image):
    return image[:, :, [0, 2, 0]]

# inverting image
final = clip.fl_image(invert_image)

# showing final clip
final.ipython_display()

Output :

Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4

                                                                                                                       
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
 

Another example:

Python3

# Import everything needed to edit video clips
from moviepy.editor import *

# loading video gfg
clip = VideoFileClip("geeks.mp4")


# getting subclip from it
clip = clip.subclip(0, 5)

# method for inverting image
def invert_image(image):
    return image[:, :, [1, 2, 1]]

# inverting image
final = clip.fl_image(invert_image)

# showing final clip
final.ipython_display()

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
