In this article we will see how we can play the video file clip in loop i.e n times in MoviePy. MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations on videos and GIF’s. Video is formed by the frames, combination of frames creates a video each frame is an individual image. We can display a video with the help of ipython_display method and we can preview a video with the help of preview method. But when we display a video there is no looping although we can add looping to it any time i.e when we display the video file it will start playing replaying itself n times.
In order to do this we will use
ipython_displaymethod with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.clip.ipython_display(loop = n)
Argument : It takes loop = integer as argument
Return : It returns None
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) # looping video 3 times clip.ipython_display(loop = 3) |
Output :
Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
This video will get played 3 times in continuous loop
Another example
# Import everything needed to edit video clips from moviepy.editor import * # loading video gfg clip = VideoFileClip("Lazyroar.mp4") # getting only first 5 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 5) # looping video 3 times clip.ipython_display(loop = 3) |
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
This video will get played 3 times in continuous loop
