MoviePy – Checking if Video File Clip is playing at given time
In this article we will see how we can check if the video file clip in MoviePy will playing at given time or not. MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations on videos and GIF’s. It means that if the video get played and time t will the video be still playing or it will get terminated.
In order to do this we will use
is_playing
method with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.is_playing(t)
Argument : It takes float value as argument
Return : It returns bool
Below is the implementation
# Import everything needed to edit video clips from moviepy.editor import * # loading video dsa gfg intro video clip = VideoFileClip( "dsa_geek.mp4" ) # getting only first 5 seconds clip = clip.subclip( 0 , 5 ) # checking if clip will be playing at time 2 value = clip.is_playing( 2 ) # printing the value print ( "Clip will be playing at time = 2 " , end = " : " ) print (value) # showing clip clip.ipython_display(width = 360 ) |
Output :
Clip will be playing at time = 2 : True Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4. Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4 Moviepy - Done ! Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
Another example
# Import everything needed to edit video clips from moviepy.editor import * # loading video gfg clip = VideoFileClip( "geeks.mp4" ) # getting only first 5 seconds clip = clip.subclip( 0 , 5 ) # checking if clip will be playing at time 8 value = clip.is_playing( 8 ) # printing the value print ( "Clip will be playing at time = 8 " , end = " : " ) print (value) # showing clip clip.ipython_display(width = 360 ) |
Output :
Clip will be playing at time = 8 : False 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
