Partially Hidden credits¶
Before seeing the code for this video, here is a tutorial video that explains the different steps (also made with MoviePy):
And here is the code:
from moviepy.editor import *
from moviepy.video.tools.credits import credits1
# Load the mountains clip, cut it, slow it down, make it look darker
clip = (VideoFileClip('../../videos/badl-0001.mov', audio=False)
.subclip(37,46)
.speedx( 0.4)
.fx( vfx.colorx, 0.7))
# Save the first frame to later make a mask with GIMP (only once)
#~ clip.save_frame('../../credits/mountainMask2.png')
# Load the mountain mask made with GIMP
mountainmask = ImageClip('../../credits/mountainMask2.png',ismask=True)
# Generate the credits from a text file
credits = credits1('../../credits/credits.txt',3*clip.w/4)
scrolling_credits = credits.set_pos(lambda t:('center',-10*t))
# Make the credits scroll. Here, 10 pixels per second
final = CompositeVideoClip([clip,
scrolling_credits,
clip.set_mask(mountainmask)])
final.subclip(8,10).write_videofile("../../credits_mountains.avi")
