An Introduction to Moviepy - Automated Video Editing with Python

[00:00] hello so I thought I'll make an

[00:01] introduction here into movie pie it's

[00:04] sort of a python Library dedicated to

[00:06] video editing so let's say he wants to

[00:09] do something programmatically or you

[00:10] didn't have the tools for video edit

[00:12] video editing you can use this free

[00:13] python Library so let's just jump into

[00:16] it so first thing you need to do is go

[00:18] into your terminal shell and install

[00:20] um movie Pi so something like bit

[00:28] and that should run and it's installed

[00:30] quick

[00:31] now you need to add your Imports so

[00:34] we're going to say from moviepi dot

[00:37] editor import Star which means

[00:40] everything from that Library

[00:42] and then we're gonna say let's load the

[00:44] first file of video file into memory so

[00:47] the files you want to join together are

[00:49] these two so the basic example we're

[00:52] going to do here is we're going to get

[00:53] this file and this file and then just

[00:56] join them together to make a final

[00:58] output file so let's just show you what

[01:00] it looks like

[01:01] if we open that in Explorer

[01:05] so you can see it looks something like

[01:07] that

[01:09] and this one looks something like that

[01:13] and hopefully they'll be joined together

[01:14] as one file so the first thing we need

[01:16] to do is load the first file into memory

[01:23] video file and then we have to get the

[01:28] the path to that file so if we copy that

[01:30] path by doing copy path reference

[01:33] absolute path and we put the r in front

[01:38] and then we get our second video equals

[01:42] video file

[01:44] and then the second video file path

[01:49] or in front

[01:53] now you might be wondering what the r

[01:54] does here it just allows us to use this

[01:56] type of backslash to denote a path

[01:59] otherwise it gets a bit confusing

[02:02] so yeah we're gonna say final

[02:05] video equals uh concatening

[02:09] and then we're going to put a list in

[02:11] here so first video second video

[02:14] and then the method we're going to

[02:16] specify here is compose

[02:19] so what this basically does is it's

[02:22] getting the video Here video here so the

[02:24] first one second one

[02:26] taking that in as a list so the order

[02:28] does matter here so this one will be

[02:29] shown first then this one

[02:31] and then it's combining them through a

[02:33] compose method that's useful if you have

[02:35] two file sizes of the different

[02:38] uh resolution size

[02:40] final video dot far right and let's call

[02:44] this Final in this

[02:47] video dot MP4

[02:50] all right let's run this

[02:54] so I should be doing some magic and

[02:57] usually the first one is sound so audio

[03:00] and now we're doing the visual aspect

[03:03] that we're joining over

[03:07] and hopefully if all goes well you

[03:09] should have a final file that you can

[03:11] open up

[03:13] and if one of the file is slightly

[03:16] bigger then you'll you'll just see I'll

[03:19] just show you his knee done

[03:22] yeah so if we open that up in Explorer

[03:26] open that

[03:28] you can see here

[03:29] this was a smaller file you can see the

[03:31] kind of Slide the side bits are a bit

[03:34] padded inwards

[03:36] and if we move over to the other one you

[03:39] can see that takes up the whole window

[03:41] so yeah this is a simple example of how

[03:43] to use movie pipe

[03:45] um like subscribe and I'll see in the

[03:46] next video bye
