In this article we will see how we can release 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. Release the video file clip means to release/close all the resources used by the given video file clip it is used to free up some memory. It is recommended to release the object when its use is completed.
In order to do this we will use
closemethod with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.close()
Argument : It takes no 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.mp4") # getting only first 5 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 5) # showing clip clip.ipython_display(width = 360) # releasing the video file clip clip.close() |
Output :
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) # showing clip clip.ipython_display(width = 360) # releasing the video file clip clip.close() |
Output :
Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
