In this article we will see how we can set duration 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. Duration is the time for which the clip get played increasing the duration make it repeat itself and decreasing duration will close the clip when duration is completed.
In order to do this we will use
set_durationmethod with the VideoFileClip objectSyntax : clip.set_duration(n)
Argument : It takes float value as argument
Return : It returns VideoFileClip object
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) # new clip with new duration new_clip = clip.set_duration(10) # new clip with new duration new_clip.ipython_display(width = 360) |
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("Lazyroar.mp4") # getting only first 2 seconds clip = clip.subclip(0, 2) # new clip with new duration new_clip = clip.set_duration(6) # showing clip new_clip.ipython_display(width = 360) |
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
