MoviePy – Getting Sub Clip

In this article we will see how we can show 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. A subclip is a section of a master (source) clip that you want to edit and manage separately in your project. You can use subclips to organize long media files. You work with subclips in a Timeline panel as you do with master clips. Trimming and editing a subclip is constrained by its start and end points. Clipping helps in overcome the memory error occur while showing large video at a single time.

In order to do this we will use subclip method with the VideoFileClip object 

Syntax : clip.subclip(i, j) 

Argument : It takes two integer argument which are starting and ending value in seconds 

Return : It returns VideoFileClip object

Below is the implementation 

Output :

Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4

                                                                                                                       
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
