convert video into gif in python

To convert a video into a gif using Python, we can use the imageio library which provides a simple way to read and write files of various formats. First, we need to install imageio and ffmpeg which is a dependency of imageio:

main.py
!pip install imageio
!pip install ffmpeg

3 lines

Next, we need to open the video file using imageio.get_reader() and set the output file path using imageio.get_writer(). We can then loop through each frame of the video and write it to the output file using writer.append_data():

main.py
import imageio

# Set the name of the input and output files
input_file = 'video.mp4'
output_file = 'video.gif'

# Open the reader and writer
reader = imageio.get_reader(input_file)
writer = imageio.get_writer(output_file, fps=10)  # Set the frames per second to 10

# Loop through each frame and write it to the output file
for frames in reader:
    writer.append_data(frames)

# Close the reader and writer
writer.close()
reader.close()

Finally, we can close the reader and writer using writer.close() and reader.close() respectively. The resulting gif will be saved to the specified output file path.
