MoviePy – Setting isMask Property

In this article we will see how we can set isMask property of the video file clip in MoviePy. MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations on videos and GIF’s. IsMask property tells that if the given video clip is mask or not, mask is basically that video which is used as mask for the another video.

In order to do this we will use set_ismask method with the VideoFileClip object Syntax : clip.set_ismask(True) Argument : It takes bool as argument Return : It returns VideoFileClip object

Below is the implementation

Python3

# Import everything needed to edit video clips 
from moviepy.editor import *
  
# loading video dsa gfg intro video 
clip = VideoFileClip("dsa_geek.mp4") 
   
# getting only first 5 seconds
clip = clip.subclip(0, 5)

# marking this video as mask
new_clip = clip.set_ismask(True)

# displaying new clip
new_clip.ipython_display()

Output :

Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4

                                                                                                                       
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4

Another example

Python3

# Import everything needed to edit video clips
from moviepy.editor import *

# loading video gfg
clip = VideoFileClip("geeks.mp4")


# getting only first 5 seconds
clip = clip.subclip(0, 5)

# marking this video as mask
new_clip = clip.set_ismask(True)


# displaying new clip
new_clip.ipython_display()

Output :

Moviepy - Building video __temp__.mp4.
MoviePy - Writing audio in __temp__TEMP_MPY_wvf_snd.mp3
                                                                                                                       
MoviePy - Done.
Moviepy - Writing video __temp__.mp4

                                                                                                                       
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready __temp__.mp4
