#Python 🐍 – 2 lines to create a gif from a video 🎦 using moviepy

Hi !

Today I’ll share another cool sample using moviepy.

This one is easy: create a gif from a video file. And in this scenario, I added some extra features

• Use the Video frames from seconds 1 to 5
• Resize the output to 50% of the original file

The code is super simple

	from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip, clips_array, vfx
	clip = (VideoFileClip("cat1.mp4")
	.subclip(1,5)
	.resize(0.5))
	clip.write_gif("cats can be friendly.gif")

Super, easy. It and the output is a 2MB gif file.
