In this article we will see how we can add margin to 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. In typography, a margin is the area between the main content of a page and the page edges. The margin helps to define where a line of text begins and ends. When a page is justified the text is spread out to be flush with the left and right margins, similarly margin of video file clip add extra space between the video and main frame.
In order to do this we will use
marginmethod with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.margin(n)
Argument : It takes integer 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.webm") # getting subclip from the original video clip = clip.subclip(0, 10) # adding margin to the video clip = clip.margin(40) # showing final clip clip.ipython_display() |
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("Lazyroar.mp4") # getting subclip from it clip1 = clip.subclip(0, 7) # adding margin to the clip clip1 = clip1.margin(20) # showing final clip clip1.ipython_display() |
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
