MoviePy –Saving Video File Clip

In this article we will see how we can save a 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. Visual multimedia source that combines a sequence of images to form a moving picture. The video transmits a signal to a screen and processes the order in which the screen captures should be shown. Videos usually have audio components that correspond with the pictures being shown on the screen.

In order to do this we will use write_videofile method with the VideoFileClip object Syntax : clip.write_videofile(new_name) Argument : It takes string as argument which is new name or location of file Return : It returns None

Note : If only new name is given in parameters then the file will get saved in the same folder of the code. 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 subclip as video is large
clip = clip.subclip(55, 65)

# saving the clip
clip.write_videofile("gfg_intro.webm")

# showing clip
clip.ipython_display(width = 480)

Output :

Moviepy - Building video gfg_intro.webm.
Moviepy - Writing video gfg_intro.webm

                                                                                                                       
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready gfg_intro.webm
Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4

                                                                                                                       
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4

When we go into the code folder we can see the new file is created, below is how the created file will be Another example 

Python3

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

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

# getting subclip
clip = clip.subclip(0, 7)

# saving the clip
clip.write_videofile("handmade_gfg.mp4")

# showing clip
clip.ipython_display()

Output :
