In this article we will see how we can apply speed effect on 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. Speed up video or slow down also known as fast motion/slow-motion effects in video production, which makes the video clips play faster or slower than original speed.
In order to do this we will use
fxmethod with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.fx( vfx.speedx, m)
Argument : It takes vfx object and multiplier 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 only first 5 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 5) # applying speed effect final = clip.fx( vfx.speedx, 0.5) # showing final clip final.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 clip = clip.subclip(0, 9) # applying speed effect final = clip.fx( vfx.speedx, 2) # showing final clip final.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
