#Python 🐍 – Let’s stack and edit some videos 🎦 using moviepy

Hi !

Today I’ll share another cool Python library: moviepy.

And, as usual let’s share the code, the best way to explain part of this library capabilities

	from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip, clips_array, vfx
	clip11 = VideoFileClip("cat1.mp4").margin(10)
	clip21 = VideoFileClip("cat2.mp4").margin(10)
	clip12 = clip11.fx( vfx.mirror_x)
	clip22 = clip21.fx( vfx.mirror_y)
	final_clip = clips_array([[clip11, clip21],
	[clip12, clip22]])
	final_clip.resize(width=480).write_videofile("stacked_vid.mp4")

Super, easy. It start with 2 cats videos, create 2 new videos with mirroring effects from the source videos, and create a final video with the 4 videos stacked. Let’s take a look at the final video

And, of course, this is video editing, so the process may take some time.

Check the official moviepy installation guide.
