Read Video

from vidsz.opencv import Reader

# open reader
reader = Reader("static/countdown.mp4")

# print info: width, height, fps etc.
print(reader)

# access specific things
print(reader.width, reader.height, reader.fps)

# access number-of-frames/seconds/minutes that have been read
print(reader.frame_count, reader.seconds, reader.minutes)

# read frames with while loop
while reader.is_open():
    # returns ndarry-frame or None if nothing left to read
    frame = reader.read()

# read frame with for loop
for frame in reader:
    # use frame however you like
    pass

# release
reader.release()


# or read with a with block
with Reader("static/countdown.mp4") as reader:
    frame = reader.read()
    frames = reader.read_all() # list of frames returned

Write Video

from vidsz.opencv import Reader, Writer

video_fname = "static/countdown.mp4"

# open reader
reader = Reader(video_fname)

# start writer with the Reader object
# by default it'll append _out in the name of the output video
writer = Writer(reader)

# start writer with your settings;
# you can also give any combinations of
# following settings with Reader object to
# overwrite default settings
writer = Writer(name="out.mp4", width=1920, height=1080, fps=15)

# print writer info
print(writer)

# write single frame
frame = reader.read()
writer.write(frame)

# write list of frames
# or directly write everything from reader object
writer.write_all(reader)

# close off
writer.release()

# using "with" block, write "static/countdown_out.mp4" (clone of input)
with Reader(video_fname) as reader:
    with Writer(reader, name="out_with.mp4") as writer:
        writer.write_all(reader)
