In this article we will see how we can show a single frame at given time 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. Video is formed by the frames, combination of frames creates a video each frame is an individual image. We can store the specific frame at any time with the help of save_frame method with the VideoFileClip object.
The method clip.show enables preview one frame of a clip without having to write it to a file: the following lines display the frame in a PyGame window
In order to do this we will use
showmethod with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.show(t)
Argument : It takes time as optional argument
Return : It returns None
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 only first 5 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 5) # showing frame at 2 secoond clip.show(2) |
Output :
Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
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 duration of the video duration = clip.duration # showing frame at 3 second clip.show(3) |
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
