In this article, we will see how we can resize video file clips in MoviePy. MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations on videos and GIF’s. Resizing video files means. Image/frame interpolation occurs when you resize or distort your frame of video from one-pixel grid to another. Video resizing is necessary when we need to increase or decrease the total number of pixels, whereas remapping can occur when you are correcting for lens distortion or rotating a video.
In order to do this we will use resize method with the VideoFileClip object
Syntax : clip.resize(n)
Argument : It takes float value i.e multiplier
Return : It returns VideoFileClip object
Below is the implementation
Python3
# Import everything needed to edit video clipsfrom moviepy.editor import *# loading video dsa gfg intro video# and getting only first 5 secondsclip1 = VideoFileClip("dsa_geek.webm").subclip(0, 5)# getting width and height of clip 1w1 = clip1.wh1 = clip1.hprint("Width x Height of clip 1 : ", end = " ")print(str(w1) + " x ", str(h1))print("---------------------------------------")# resizing video downsize 50 % clip2 = clip1.resize(0.5)# getting width and height of clip 1w2 = clip2.wh2 = clip2.hprint("Width x Height of clip 2 : ", end = " ")print(str(w2) + " x ", str(h2))print("---------------------------------------")# showing final clipclip2.ipython_display(width = 480) |
Output :
Width x Height of clip 1 : 854 x 480 --------------------------------------- Width x Height of clip 2 : 427 x 240 --------------------------------------- Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4. Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4 Moviepy - Done ! Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
Another example
Python3
# Import everything needed to edit video clipsfrom moviepy.editor import *# loading video gfgclip = VideoFileClip("Lazyroar.mp4")# getting subclipclip1 = clip.subclip(0, 7)# getting width and height of clip 1w1 = clip1.wh1 = clip1.hprint("Width x Height of clip 1 : ", end = " ")print(str(w1) + " x ", str(h1))print("---------------------------------------")# resizing video downsize 50 % clip2 = clip1.resize(0.5)# getting width and height of clip 1w2 = clip2.wh2 = clip2.hprint("Width x Height of clip 2 : ", end = " ")print(str(w2) + " x ", str(h2))print("---------------------------------------")# showing final clipclip2.ipython_display() |
Output :
Width x Height of clip 1 : 656 x 404 --------------------------------------- Width x Height of clip 2 : 328 x 202 --------------------------------------- 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
