Create Video from Images or NumPy Array using Python OpenCV | OpenCV Tutorial

In this Python OpenCV Tutorial, explain how to create a video using NumPy array and images.

Video From NumPy Array

import numpy as np
import cv2
import os

width = 1280
hieght = 720
channel = 3

fps = 30
sec = 5

# Syntax: VideoWriter_fourcc(c1, c2, c3, c4) # Concatenates 4 chars to a fourcc code
#  cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc('M','J','P','G') or cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'MJPG)

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'MP42') # FourCC is a 4-byte code used to specify the video codec.
# A video codec is software or hardware that compresses and decompresses digital video. 
# In the context of video compression, codec is a portmanteau of encoder and decoder, 
# while a device that only compresses is typically called an encoder, and one that only 
# decompresses is a decoder. Source - Wikipedia

#Syntax: cv2.VideoWriter( filename, fourcc, fps, frameSize )
video = cv2.VideoWriter('test.mp4', fourcc, float(fps), (width, hieght))

for frame_count in range(fps*sec):
    img = np.random.randint(0,255, (hieght, width, channel), dtype = np.uint8)
    video.write(img)

video.release()

Video from Images

import numpy as np
import cv2
import os

width = 1280
hieght = 720
channel = 3

fps = 10
sec = 5

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'MP42')

video = cv2.VideoWriter('image_to_video.avi', fourcc, float(fps), (width, hieght))

directry = r'C:\Users\kashz\AI Life\AI Projects - IAIP, PTs (Web + Channel)\02 OpenCV\000 opencv tutorial\data\images'

img_name_list = os.listdir(directry)

for frame_count in range(fps*sec):
   
    img_name = np.random.choice(img_name_list)
    img_path = os.path.join(directry, img_name)
    img = cv2.imread(img_path)
    img_resize = cv2.resize(img, (width, hieght))
    
    video.write(img_resize)
    
video.release()
