MoviePy – Setting End Time of the Clip
In this article we will see how we can set end 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. We can change the duration of the clip with the help of set_duration method. Although by changing the end time of the clip we can increase or decrease the duration as well.
In order to do this we will use
set_endmethod with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.set_end(n)
Argument : It takes float value as argument
Return : It returns VideoFileClip object
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.mp4") # getting only first 5 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 5) # new clip with new end time new_clip = clip.set_end(3) # displaying new clip 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
# Import everything needed to edit video clips from moviepy.editor import * # loading video gfg clip = VideoFileClip("zambiatek.mp4") # getting only first 2 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 2) # new clip with new end time new_clip = clip.set_end(3) # displaying new clip 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
