MoviePy – Getting Width of Video File Clip

Last Updated : 01 Aug, 2020

In this article we will see how we can get the width of the video file in MoviePy. MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations on videos and GIF’s. Width is the part of the dimensions of the video, w9dth is basically the base of the video.

We can load the video file clip with the help of command given below

clip = VideoFileClip(file_name)

In order to do this we will use w attribute with the VideoFileClip object
Syntax : clip.w
Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns integer

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.webm")
  
# getting subclip from it
clip1 = clip.subclip(0, 10)
  
# getting width of the clip
width = clip1.w
  
# printing value of width
print("Width of clip  : " + str(width))
  
  
print("---------------------------------------")
  
  
# showing final clip
clip1.ipython_display(width = 480)

Output :

Width of clip  : 854

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 subclip from it
clip1 = clip.subclip(0, 7)
  
# getting width of the clip
width = clip1.w
  
# printing value of width
print("Width of clip  : " + str(width))
  
  
print("---------------------------------------")
  
  
# showing final clip
clip1.ipython_display()

Output :

Width of clip  : 656
