What I am trying to do is to add a short text at specific timeframe of a mp4 video. I have this code:
# Import everything needed to edit video clips
from moviepy.editor import *
# loading video dsa gfg intro video
clip = VideoFileClip("video.mp4")
# clipping of the video
# getting video for only starting 10 seconds
clip = clip.subclip(0, 5)
# Reduce the audio volume (volume x 0.8)
clip = clip.volumex(0.8)
text = "Hello world!"
# Generate a text clip
txt_clip = TextClip(text, fontsize = 75, color = 'black')
# setting position of text in the center and duration will be 10 seconds
txt_clip = txt_clip.set_pos('center').set_duration(2).set_start(3)
# Overlay the text clip on the first video clip
video = CompositeVideoClip([new_clip, txt_clip])
# showing video
video.ipython_display(width = 280)
Everything works well except that the text changes suddenly to something like '@/tmp/tmpq5b_zzvf.txt' which is obviously not the intended effect.
Beside googling, I tried dir(txt_clip) to see if I could change it manually, and it does have a txt attribute associated with it. but inserting txt_clip.txt = "Hello world" right afterward does not do anything.
What could be the culprit?
