In this article we will see how we can rotate a 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. Rotation is the act or process of moving or turning around a video to its central point. Rotation of 360 degree will be a complete turn around a central point. We can rotate the video with any angle.
In order to do this we will use rotate method with the VideoFileClip object Syntax : clip.rotate(degree) Argument : It takes integer as argument Return : It returns VideoFileClip object
Below is the implementation
Python3
# Import everything needed to edit video clips from moviepy.editor import * # loading video dsa gfg intro video clip = VideoFileClip("dsa_geek.webm") # getting subclip as video is large clip = clip.subclip( 55 , 65 ) # rotating clip by 45 degree clip = clip.rotate( 45 ) # showing clip clip.ipython_display(width = 480 ) |
Output :
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 clips from moviepy.editor import * # loading video gfg clip = VideoFileClip("Lazyroar.mp4") # getting subclip clip = clip.subclip( 0 , 7 ) # rotating clip by 180 degree clip = clip.rotate( 180 ) # showing clip clip.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
