In this article we will see how we can get the start time of 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. When the clip is included in a composition, start time is time of the composition at which the clip starts playing (in seconds).
In order to do this we will use
startattribute with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.start
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns integer
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.mp4") # getting only first 5 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 5) # getting start time of the clip value = clip.start # printing start time print("Start Time : ", end =" ") print(value) # showing clip clip.ipython_display(width = 360) |
Output :
Start Time : 0
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("neveropen.mp4") # getting only first 5 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 5) # getting start time of the clip value = clip.start # printing start time print("Start Time : ", end =" ") print(value) # showing clip clip.ipython_display(width = 360) |
Output :
Start Time : 0
Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
