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 object
Syntax : clip.is_playing(t)
Argument : It takes float value as argument
Return : It returns bool
Below is the implementation
from moviepy.editor import *
clip = VideoFileClip( "dsa_geek.mp4" )
clip = clip.subclip( 0 , 5 )
value = clip.is_playing( 2 )
print ( "Clip will be playing at time = 2 " , end = " : " )
print (value)
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
from moviepy.editor import *
clip = VideoFileClip( "geeks.mp4" )
clip = clip.subclip( 0 , 5 )
value = clip.is_playing( 8 )
print ( "Clip will be playing at time = 8 " , end = " : " )
print (value)
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
