In this article we will see how we can save video file clip as GIF 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. The Graphics Interchange Format is a bitmap image format that was developed by a team at the online services provider CompuServe.
In order to do this we will use
write_gifmethod with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.write_gif(name)
Argument : It takes string i.e file name as 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 3 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 3) # saving video clip as gif clip.write_gif("gfg_gif.gif") # loading gif gif = VideoFileClip("gfg_gif.gif") # showing gif gif.ipython_display() |
Output :
MoviePy - Building file gfg_gif.gif with imageio.
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("Lazyroar.mp4") # getting only first 3 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 3) # saving video clip as gif clip.write_gif("intro_gif.gif") # loading gif gif = VideoFileClip("intro_gif.gif") # showing gif gif.ipython_display() |
Output :
MoviePy - Building file intro_gif.gif with imageio.
Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
