MoviePy - Concatenating multiple Video Files

MoviePy is a Python library that provides operations to edit video files. One of its functionalities is concatenating multiple video clips.

Here's how to concatenate multiple video files using MoviePy:

  1. Install MoviePy: First, ensure you have MoviePy installed:

    pip install moviepy

  2. Concatenate Videos: Let's say you have three video files named video1.mp4, video2.mp4, and video3.mp4 that you want to concatenate:

    from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip, concatenate_videoclips # Load the video clips clip1 = VideoFileClip("video1.mp4") clip2 = VideoFileClip("video2.mp4") clip3 = VideoFileClip("video3.mp4") # Concatenate video clips final_clip = concatenate_videoclips([clip1, clip2, clip3], method="compose") # Write the result to a file final_clip.write_videofile("combined_video.mp4", codec="libx264", audio_codec="aac")

Note:

  • The method="compose" argument ensures that the clips are concatenated in the order they are provided in the list.
  • The codec argument in write_videofile specifies the codec to be used for video compression. libx264 is commonly used for .mp4 files.
  • Similarly, audio_codec specifies the codec for audio compression, with aac being a common choice for .mp4 files.

With these steps, you'll obtain a single video file named combined_video.mp4 that is the result of concatenating video1.mp4, video2.mp4, and video3.mp4 in the order they are provided. Adjust the list of clips as needed if you have more or fewer videos to concatenate.
