How I Edit My Videos With Python - Python Task Automation

In this tutorial, I show you how I edit my videos using Python and MoviePy.
MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations like cuts, concatenations, title insertions, video compositing, video processing, and even to create advanced effects.

As a video editor who is now a coding wannabe, this is pure gold man!!

Hello Patrick, there are some but not so many YT channels which are prepared so outstanding like your. The effort and performance you deliver are remarkable, brilliant and impressive. You cover all the latest SW technologies and share your passion. Keep fingers for your goals.

Straight to the point and just mind blowingly well explained.

[vegaarcturus]

Very useful for Minecraft ASMR mining blocks and putting blocks. I know that this is applicable in a lot of situations

[rajukani]

That's it i looking for. Awesome Bro !

this is so cool! Python can do so many things. Happy to know Python can edit videos and audio. Thanks!

[shantanudhiman]

I mean wow, this is better than any video editor, freaking

[kameld]

is there a library to visualise all of this I mean to give it a visual interface like in classic editing software?

[brandonallen]

Came for the video editing tips. Reminded me that I majored in deep learning, lol

[Micetticat]

I found your great tutorial because I was thinking how convenient would be to have a way to edit videos using code for some workflows.

[EveryLastdrop-twrg]

you can actually just open your videos in audacity by the way, but that code is awesome thank you for showing

[WebStacks]

Thank You, now I'm gonna go and make a Video Editor in python with GUI - Quite a bit of work :)

I've been thinking of doing something similar myself, but I'm trying to find a more efficient method for the manual work (in Audacity). One method could be to just use the label-function in Audacity, then find a way to extract/export all of the label-data (from/to/labelname). Another (more basic) improvement to the current workflow could be to link a hotkey to a script that adds track-selection start/end-time to the clipboard.

Anyways, great video! There's so many tasks that (in large parts) can be be automated :)

I might use this approach to add a standard preamble, to trim dead space to make the video fit the target duration (good for YT #shorts), add a trailer for the next episode as required.

I think a standard GUI editor would be my go to for normal work. If I'm talking, make an error and reshoot that segment, this isn't going to handle it well. Similar if I record an interview, it might take an hour of shooting but need to be condensed to 15 minutes.

Python can probably be made to drive Premiere Pro too, it can drive Photoshop.

@PythonEngineer do I see Tech with Tim and Corey Schafer in your subscription. 😃

[brendensong]

Thank you for sharing this! Love all your video! It's very informative!!!

[JJSeattle]

Ahahha okay, that was a funny disclaimer, "I don't use it myself for my YouTube videos, but you could." Ahahahaha that just tickled me.

[efiratoglu]

Great video about MoviePy. But I really wonder how you were planning to define silent parts of a video to extract automaticaly. Would you please drop a few lines about the algorithm of that? TBH, I could not find the command to analyze the sound level in an audio clip to create croppin time stamps and that would be more than enough... Many thanks again for that great tutorial!

[saralgyaan]

It's very helpful video, will be trying it for sure.
