VideoPadding

VideoPadding

is an option for GridVideo and other video functions to specify how to pad video frames when input videos have different durations.

Details

  • Possible settings include:
  • valpad with grayscale images at gray level val
    colorpad with constant images of the specified color
    imagepad with a constant image
    "Fixed"use the boundary frames for padding

Examples

Basic Examples  (2)

Extend a video duration using a constant padding value:

Wolfram Language code: {v1, v2} = {Video["ExampleData/rule30.mp4"], Video["ExampleData/fish.mp4"]};
Wolfram Language code: VideoMapList[#Image&, {v1, v2}, VideoPadding -> Green]//Last

Extend a video duration by repeating the final frame:

Wolfram Language code: {v1, v2} = {Video["ExampleData/rule30.mp4"], Video["ExampleData/fish.mp4"]};
Wolfram Language code: VideoMapList[#Image&, {v1, v2}, VideoPadding -> "Fixed"]//Last

Scope  (1)

Combine a list of videos of different durations using GridVideo:

Wolfram Language code: list = VideoTrim[#, RandomReal[5]]& /@ ResourceData["Cheerleading Video Samples"];
Wolfram Language code: Duration[list]

When combining them in a grid, shorter videos are by default padded by black frames:

Wolfram Language code: GridVideo[list]//VideoFrameList[#, 3]&

Specify a different color padding:

Wolfram Language code: GridVideo[list, VideoPadding -> Orange]//VideoFrameList[#, 3]&

Use "Fixed" padding to repeat the final frame:

Wolfram Language code: GridVideo[list, VideoPadding -> "Fixed"]//VideoFrameList[#, 3]&
