How I Edit My Videos With Python - Python Task Automation 

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

Straight to the point and just mind blowingly well explained.

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

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.

That's it i looking for. Awesome Bro !

I just found your channel. Great and really helpful content, thanks for providing it 🙂. Subscribed directly, of course.

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

this channel deserves more subscribers

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

Hey, Nice work! Really helpful for me :D i really want to thank you for the help!

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

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

Loved it Wass willing to make it myself, but you made it easier....👌👌👌

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

Thanks for the great content. Thanks for sharing 😃🇨🇴

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

This is a great tutorial..

Great info!

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

Awesome, didnt even think about this possibility! Maybe I try to edit videos with Python :D

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

pretty nice! 🤗

Great man

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

Nice video shows methods to create a business..

Amazing!

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.

Nice video bro 🤙🤙

Thanks for the lovely video! I have one question not directly related to the content presented, but as you are demoing your screencasts I think this is still relevant: How are you recording your screencasts - before cutting them? For me especially relevant would be appropriate command line switches for ffmgeg under Linux.

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

Thankyou so much :)

Great video! Is there a way to play the video and save the cuts by pressing a button (start/stop). Then just running this function. Thanks

DUDE, I was wondering if this was possible :)

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

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!

This is insane

thanks

Hi with python pillow can it improve the video image quality or is it just pictures it does thankyou

i want to add an audio test.mp3 of 2 secs to a video file of test.mp4 of 15 secs at multiple places like at 4th, 8 th , 12 th. what would be the approach?

I want to add a looping gif over music with out making a million cuts. Is that possible?

Beautiful 👍. Hey, I have some questions. Where do I reach out to you?

I have a database of images and text and can't find a no-code bulk automator for making video shorts. Canva came out with one but you can't change the background. I've never used code... will this be too hard for me???

Can we add an audio file that plays when with text overlay

--I'm not sure why __name__ is italicized and missing an _ on the right and left side in this comment, but I didn't write it like that. --What does if __name__ == '__main__': edit_video(loadtitle, savetitle, cuts) --do? --What is "libx264"? Does the video have to be ".mov" to ".mp4" or can it be ".mp4" to ".mp4"? Videoquality is "24", what happens if I increase/decrease that number? Instead of having title separate from loadtitle and savetitle, could I have loadtitle and savetitle be paths? What are cut[0] and cut[1] in for cut in cuts: clip = video.subclip(cut[0], cut[1]) clips.append(clip) --? Are they individual cuts or are they start of a number of cuts? If I have cuts = [('00:01:00.00', '00:00:02.00'), ('00:00:05.00', 00:00:07.00')] is it for cut in cuts: clip = video.subclip(cut[0], cut[4]) clips.append(clip) --or for cut in cuts: clip = video.subclip(cut[0], cut[1], cut[3], cut[4]) clips.append(clip) --? Also, I haven't been able to run it fully yet, but it seems that for Windows txt = mpy.TextClip('Please Subscribe!', font='Courier') fontsize=120, color='white', bg_color='gray35' txt = txt.set_position(('center', 0.6), relative=True) txt = txt.set_start((0, 3)) # (min, s) txt = txt.set_duration(4) txt = txt.crossfadein(0.5) txt = txt.crossfadeout(0.5) ... final_clip.write_videofile(savetitle, threads=4, fps=24) codec=vcodec, preset=compression, ffmpeg_params=["-crf", videoquality]) --needs to be rewritten as txt = mpy.TextClip('Please Subscribe!', font='Courier') txt = txt.mpy.TextClip(fontsize=120, color='white', bg_color='gray35') txt = txt.set_position(('center', 0.6), relative=True) txt = txt.set_start((0, 3)) # (min, s) txt = txt.set_duration(4) txt = txt.crossfadein(0.5) txt = txt.crossfadeout(0.5) ... final_clip.write_videofile(savetitle, threads=4, fps=24, codec=vcodec, preset=compression, ffmpeg_params=["-crf", videoquality]) --to avoid an unexpected indent error.

Hi, I'm a student. I want to know how to clip the photos into a vedio with python like a function of the photo album and add some special effects when a photo changes. Thank you for your replying.

How do we know the cut times? What if we have so many cut times? I am not sure, whether this works for my purpose.

I saw that Davinci Resolve has Python Scripting support. Have you tried it?

Out of curiosity, why did you stop using this method and what software do you use otherwise?. Thanks.

Python is Every Think

Guys don't you feel weird while editing on python, I mean there should be a GUI there no ?

cool. but like... nooooooo

ı'cant see ui? but nice click bait
