MoviePy – Shallow copying Video File Clip
Last Updated :
30 Aug, 2020
In this article we will see how we can shallow copy 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. Shallow copy is a bit-wise copy of an object. A new object is created that has an exact copy of the values in the original object. If any of the fields of the object are references to other objects, just the reference addresses are copied i.e., only the memory address is copied. Shallow copy is intensively used to produce new clips every time there is an outplace transformation of the clip (clip.resize, clip.subclip, etc.)
In order to do this we will use copy
method with the VideoFileClip object
Syntax : clip.copy()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns VideoFileClip
Below is the implementation
from moviepy.editor import *
clip = VideoFileClip( "dsa_geek.mp4" )
clip = clip.subclip( 0 , 5 )
copied_clip = clip.copy()
copied_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 , 5 )
copied_clip = clip.copy()
copied_clip.ipython_display(width = 360 )
|
Output :
Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
