anna_olaf = (VideoFileClip("c5baba648903aefc48771937de56918f.mp4")
.subclip(1,1)
.speedx(0.5) # Play at half speed
.resize(.4))

snapshot = (anna_olaf
.crop(x2= anna_olaf.w/2) # remove right half
.to_ImageClip(0.2) # snapshot of the clip at t=0.2s
.set_duration(anna_olaf.duration))

composition = CompositeVideoClip([anna_olaf, snapshot])
composition.write_gif('anna_olaf.gif', fp

s=15)

I want to write to file 1.56, 1.67, 1,80,1.89 frame. how I can create this. please help

[Zulko]

Have you installed ImageMagick ?

[vah13]

I installed and all OK, thank you very much, sorry for stupid question :)

[Zulko]

Problem solved :)

[Zulko]

By the way, what do you mean by this -> "I want to write to file 1.56, 1.67, 1,80,1.89 frame."
Can you give more details ?

[vah13]

Yes of course. For example I have video 3 sec. I want to get Image frame from video in 1sec 56 ms, 1 sec. 67 ms ...

[Zulko]

What I didn't understand is what you want to do with these. I mean, if you just want the arrays that correspond to the images (these will be numpy arrays), you write

im1 = myclip.get_frame(1.56)
im2 = myclip.get_frame(1.67)
# etc...

If you want to save these frames as image files you will write

myclip.save_frame("my_image1.png", t=1.56) # you can also ask .jpeg, .tiff, etc.
myclip.save_frame("my_image2.png", t=1.67)
# etc.

Did that answer your question ?

[vah13]

yes thanks)

[Zulko]

Cool !

Hi @Zulko ,
I am facing same issue on my Ubuntu 14.04 system. I have installed imagemagick. But still getting same error.
Following is my code

from moviepy import editor
video = editor.VideoFileClip("/var/www/sites/site1/videos/video.mp4")
result = editor.CompositeVideoClip([video]).resize( (720 , 547) )
result.write_videofile("/var/www/sites/site1/videos/new_test.mp4", fps=24)

Error details are as following

Traceback (most recent call last):
