In this article we will see how we can set duration 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. Duration is the time for which the clip get played increasing the duration make it repeat itself and decreasing duration will close the clip when duration is completed.
In order to do this we will use set_duration
method with the VideoFileClip object
Syntax : clip.set_duration(n)
Argument : It takes float value as argument
Return : It returns VideoFileClip object
Below is the implementation
from moviepy.editor import *
clip = VideoFileClip( "dsa_geek.mp4" )
clip = clip.subclip( 0 , 5 )
new_clip = clip.set_duration( 10 )
new_clip.ipython_display(width = 360 )
|
Output :
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 , 2 )
new_clip = clip.set_duration( 6 )
new_clip.ipython_display(width = 360 )
|
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
