python image frames to video

Question

I am writing a python/django application and it needs to do image manipulation and then combine the images into a video (each image is a frame). Image manipulation is easy.

Answer 1

If u have a folder of images to be framed as video. You can tune the parameters and arrange the frames in sorted manner.

import cv2
import os
from tqdm import tqdm
import glob
#TODO
image_folder = '/*'
video_name = 'Dir to store the video'#save as .avi
#is changeable but maintain same h&w over all  frames
width=640 
height=400 
#this fourcc best compatible for avi
fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc('M','J','P','G')
video=cv2.VideoWriter(video_name,fourcc, 2.0, (width,height))



for i in tqdm((sorted(glob.glob(image_folder),key=os.path.getmtime))):
     x=cv2.imread(i)
     video.write(x)

cv2.destroyAllWindows()
video.release()
