Concatenate Videoclips
- Authors
To concatenate video clips in Python, you can use the moviepy library. Note that the concatenate_videoclips function takes a list of clips as its argument, so you can concatenate more than two clips by adding more clips to the list. Also, the moviepy library supports a variety of video formats, so you can use it to concatenate clips in other formats as well.
Here's an example of how you can concatenate a list of video clips those are in a folder:
# %pip install moviepy
# %pip install --upgrade pip
import os
from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip, concatenate_videoclips
# Folder containing the video files
folder_path = "./<FOLDER_NAME>"
# List all video files in the folder
video_files = [f for f in os.listdir(
folder_path) if f.endswith(('.mp4', '.avi', '.mov'))]
# Sort the video files by name
video_files.sort()
# Create a list to hold the video clips
video_clips = []
# Iterate over the sorted video files and load them as clips
for video_file in video_files:
video_path = os.path.join(folder_path, video_file)
clip = VideoFileClip(video_path)
video_clips.append(clip)
# Concatenate the clips
final_clip = concatenate_videoclips(video_clips)
# Write the concatenated clip to a file
final_clip.write_videofile("concatenated_video.mp4")
# Close all clips
for clip in video_clips:
clip.close()
