In this article we will see how we can get the original file name 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. Original file name is the name of the original video that existed in the first place i.e which was loaded, even after altering and editing of the video we can get the original name of the file.
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
filenameattribute with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.filename
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns string
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 it clip1 = clip.subclip(0, 10) # resizing the clip1 clip1 = clip1.resize(0.5) # rotating the clip1 clip1 = clip1.rotate(180) # getting original file name of the clip name = clip1.filename # printing the name print("File Name : " + name) print("---------------------------------------") # showing final clip clip1.ipython_display() |
Output :
File Name : dsa_geek.webm

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) # getting original file name of the clip name = clip1.filename # printing the name print("File Name : " + name) print("---------------------------------------") # showing final clip clip1.ipython_display() |
Output :
File Name : Lazyroar.mp4
