Do you want to make your own text-to-video<\/strong> or images-to-video<\/strong> generator tool?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flickify is an excellent example that utilizes the concept of text-to-video<\/strong> and images-to-video<\/strong> tools. So, if you are interested in making a similar tool then this tutorial is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> If you’re not familiar with Flickify then I’ll explain it to you. Basically, it is an online tool that converts articles\/blog posts into videos<\/strong>.

Anyways, In this tutorial, I’ll use Python 3 and OpenCV 3 to select all the images available in a specified folder and then combine them into an MP4 video.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The source code of image to video converter tool<\/strong> is written in a very simple and easy manner. So, that even beginner Python developers can understand and use it in their projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let’s have a look at the Python source code of images to video converter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Image to Video Converter Tool Source Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
#!\/usr\/local\/bin\/python3\n\nimport cv2\nimport argparse\nimport os\n\n# Construct the argument parser and parse the arguments\nap = argparse.ArgumentParser()\nap.add_argument("-ext", "--extension", required=False, default='png', help="extension name. default is 'png'.")\nap.add_argument("-o", "--output", required=False, default='output.mp4', help="output video file")\nargs = vars(ap.parse_args())\n\n# Arguments\ndir_path = '.'\next = args['extension']\noutput = args['output']\n\nimages = []\nfor f in os.listdir(dir_path):\n    if f.endswith(ext):\n        images.append(f)\n\n# Determine the width and height from the first image\nimage_path = os.path.join(dir_path, images[0])\nframe = cv2.imread(image_path)\ncv2.imshow('video',frame)\nheight, width, channels = frame.shape\n\n# Define the codec and create VideoWriter object\nfourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'mp4v') # Be sure to use lower case\nout = cv2.VideoWriter(output, fourcc, 20.0, (width, height))\n\nfor image in images:\n\n    image_path = os.path.join(dir_path, image)\n    frame = cv2.imread(image_path)\n\n    out.write(frame) # Write out frame to video\n\n    cv2.imshow('video',frame)\n    if (cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF) == ord('q'): # Hit `q` to exit\n        break\n\n# Release everything if job is finished\nout.release()\ncv2.destroyAllWindows()\n\nprint("The output video is {}".format(output))<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Final Words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I think this code is very self-explanatory. Still, I’ve added a few comments to help you understand what’s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
