Concatenate Videoclips with Python

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()
