We're going to be using Moviepy to do the following:
- Create thumbnails from videos
- Image Collection to Video
- Generate a GIF animation
- Combine Audio Samples in a Video
- Overlay Text, Image, or Video

Requirements:
- Python 3.6+
- Pipenv (or another virtual environment)
- moviepy==1.0.2 (or greater)
- ffmpeg & imagemagick installed (see direct reference link above)

In 30 Days of Python, I'll teach you the fundamentals of Python. We created this series as an introduction to programming with Python.

Why Python? It's a very popular way to writing computer programs and automations with board applications: SpaceX & NASA use it to launch rockets, Tesla with autonomous driving, Instagram as a web app backend, Intel to pilot drones/UAVs, and many many others.

What you can do with Python is nearly endless:

Run powerful web applications
Fly drones and launch rockets
Run autonomous robots like drones and self-driving cars
Build connected systems with Arduino and Raspberry PI
Automate business intelligences and perform financial analysis
Machine learning including deep learning
And many more ways
That list is fancy but don't let it scare you. Python is just a tool for writing a series of step-by-step automation rules and that's exactly what software is: a collection of rules for a computer to follow.

The right tools in the right hands can impact the world in such amazing ways.

Shakespeare had very few tools for writing plays and yet he continues to influence our entertainment despite being long gone. Creativity mixed with the right tools can transform how we do everything or why we do it.

That's why I want to teach you this tool. The world needs your creatively, your perspective, your project.

Let's do this!

Wow! Didn't even know something like moviepy existed! Thanks for that all by itself!

Just what I was looking for. Wonderful content. :)

@01:17:04 even after writing all the codec aurguments my output cropped video is still without audio, what to do? also loaded the separate audio file but still doesn't work

[redditcamp]

This is the best video about MoviePy on Youtube. Thanks. Can you post anything on YoutubeAPI as well, i.e. auto-uploading?

[venktesh]

Hi CE, im a beginner to coding/python, can I start working on coiding from here from Moviepy and expand my learning to other packages as n when required? ? because starting textbook way won't be holding my curiosity for long, I guess.

[surya-tddg]

Which editor are you using in this video ? Awsome content btw

[manishbhurtel]

Great tutorial. How can we do it for Live Video Streaming? Getting the live video frames, splitting the video and audio frames, process the video frames, and finally merge the processed video frame and audio frame. Can we do it using moviepy?

[Rubded]

I would love to build a template I can use for my projects. Would I combine everything into once script or keep the scripts separate and tun them all against then video?

I didn't watch this entire video, but I'm not seeing a way to attach a thumbnail to a video as metadata (or technically a second stream), which is what I was looking for. Does moviepy do that, or do I have to use ffmpeg?

[alothaiqi]

Flutter with Django Back-end tutorial! can you? 😅

[earwaxremoval]

how to crop batch videos and save to auto name with new folder ?

[JINKHOJA]

can u explain which program u r using for this video and screen recording

[ahmadabdallah]

I don't know why but my code ran successfully and the video was generated correctly with the new sound at 01:16:13 without the codec argument.

[GoodBoyDanny]

is there a way to loop a gif over music for the entire video

[mkmcraftman]

I am using moviepy to automate making portrait videos but sometimes the videos end up becoming glitchy, like sometimes the video dimension decreases, sometimes the video goes off and becomes full black and only the image which I am putting at the top of the background video is visible. Can you help me with this problem?

[danhao]

thanks for the video, i can't use ABS_PATH = os.path.abspath()use conf.py. it will cause the error: "ImportError: cannot import name 'SAMPLE_INPUTS' from 'conf'". Therefore, I have to change it into ABS_PATH = os.path.abspath("conf.py"), then it works. But is it fine? I mean will it cause chaos sometimes?

[onionface]

is there any reason why moviepy is speeding up clipped clips?
