MoviePy – FPS of Video File Clip

In this article we will see how we can get the fps i.e frame per second(frame rate) of the video file in MoviePy. MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations on videos and GIF’s. Frame rate is the speed at which those images are shown, or how fast you “flip” through the book and it’s usually expressed as “frames per second, ” or FPS. Each image represents a frame, so if a video is captured and played back at 24fps, that means each second of video shows 24 distinct still images.

We can load the video file clip with the help of command given below

clip = VideoFileClip(file_name)

In order to do this we will use fps attribute with the VideoFileClip object

Syntax : clip.fps

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns float

Below is the implementation

Output :

FPS : 29.97002997002997
