In this tutorial, we will introduce how to make python moviepy textclip support chinese character. You can learn how to do by our steps.
MoviePy TextClip
It is defined as:
class moviepy.video.VideoClip.TextClip(text=None, filename=None, size=None, color='black', bg_color='transparent', font_size=None, font='Courier', stroke_color=None, stroke_width=1, method='label', kerning=None, align='center', interline=None, tempfilename=None, temptxt=None, transparent=True, remove_temp=True, print_cmd=False)
In order to make TextClip support chinese text, we should:
text: It is a text string that contains chinese character.
font: We should set a correct font that support chinese character
We can use TextClip.list(“font”) to show all fonts in our pc.
For example:
from moviepy.editor import *
print(TextClip.list("font"))Run this code, we may see:
['04b_21', 'Aharoni-Bold', 'Andalus', 'Angsana-New', 'Angsana-New-Bold', 'Angsana-New-Bold-Italic', 'Angsana-New-Italic', 'AngsanaUPC', 'AngsanaUPC-Bold', 'AngsanaUPC-Bold-Italic', 'AngsanaUPC-Italic', 'Aparajita', 'Aparajita-Bold', 'Aparajita-Italic', 'Arabic-Typesetting', 'Arial', 'Arial-Black', 'Arial-Bold', 'Arial-Bold-Italic', 'Arial-Italic', 'Arial-Narrow', 'Arial-Narrow-Bold', 'Arial-Narrow-Bold-Italic', 'Arial-Narrow-Italic', 'Batang-&-BatangChe-&-Gungsuh-&-GungsuhChe', 'Book-Antiqua-Bold', 'Book-Antiqua-Bold-Italic', 'Book-Antiqua-Italic', 'Bookman-Old-Style', 'Bookman-Old-Style-Bold', 'Bookman-Old-Style-Bold-Italic', 'Bookman-Old-Style-Italic', 'Browallia-New-Bold', 'Browallia-New-Bold-Italic', 'Browallia-New-Italic', 'BrowalliaUPC-Bold', 'BrowalliaUPC-Bold-Italic', 'BrowalliaUPC-Italic', 'Calibri', 'Calibri-Bold', 'Calibri-Bold-Italic', 'Calibri-Italic', 'Cambria-&-Cambria-Math', 'Cambria-Bold', 'Cambria-Bold-Italic', 'Cambria-Italic', 'Candara', 'Candara-Bold', 'Candara-Bold-Italic', 'Candara-Italic', 'Comic-Sans-MS-Bold', 'Consolas', 'Consolas-Bold', 'Consolas-Bold-Italic', 'Consolas-Italic', 'Constantia', 'Constantia-Bold', 'Constantia-Bold-Italic', 'Constantia-Italic', 'Corbel', 'Corbel-Bold', 'Corbel-Bold-Italic', 'Corbel-Italic', 'Cordia-New-Bold', 'Cordia-New-Bold-Italic', 'Cordia-New-Italic', 'CordiaUPC-Bold', 'CordiaUPC-Bold-Italic', 'CordiaUPC-Italic', 'Courier-New', 'Courier-New-Bold', 'Courier-New-Bold-Italic', 'Courier-New-Italic', 'DaunPenh', 'David-Bold', 'DejaVu-Sans-Mono', 'DilleniaUPC-Bold', 'DilleniaUPC-Bold-Italic', 'DilleniaUPC-Italic', 'DokChampa', 'Ebrima', 'Ebrima-Bold', 'Estrangelo-Edessa', 'Euclid', 'Euclid-Bold', 'Euclid-Bold-Italic', 'Euclid-Extra', 'Euclid-Extra-Bold', 'Euclid-Fraktur', 'Euclid-Fraktur-Bold', 'Euclid-Italic', 'Euclid-Math-One', 'Euclid-Math-One-Bold', 'Euclid-Math-Two', 'Euclid-Math-Two-Bold', 'Euclid-Symbol', 'Euclid-Symbol-Bold', 'Euclid-Symbol-Bold-Italic', 'Euclid-Symbol-Italic', 'EucrosiaUPC-Bold', 'EucrosiaUPC-Bold-Italic', 'EucrosiaUPC-Italic', 'Euphemia', 'FangSong', 'Fences-Plain', 'Franklin-Gothic-Medium-Italic', 'FreesiaUPC-Bold', 'FreesiaUPC-Bold-Italic', 'FreesiaUPC-Italic', 'Gabriola', 'Garamond', 'Garamond-Bold', 'Garamond-Italic', 'Gautami', 'Gautami-Bold', 'Georgia-Bold', 'Georgia-Bold-Italic', 'Georgia-Italic', 'Gisha-Bold', 'Gulim-&-GulimChe-&-Dotum-&-DotumChe', 'Impact', 'IrisUPC-Bold', 'IrisUPC-Bold-Italic', 'IrisUPC-Italic', 'Iskoola-Pota', 'Iskoola-Pota-Bold', 'JasmineUPC-Bold', 'JasmineUPC-Bold-Italic', 'JasmineUPC-Italic', 'KaiTi', 'Kalinga', 'Kalinga-Bold', 'Kartika', 'Kartika-Bold', 'Khmer-UI', 'Khmer-UI-Bold', 'KodchiangUPC-Bold', 'KodchiangUPC-Bold-Italic', 'KodchiangUPC-Italic', 'Kokila', 'Kokila-Bold', 'Kokila-Italic', 'Lao-UI', 'Lao-UI-Bold', 'Latha', 'Latha-Bold', 'Leelawadee-Bold', 'Levenim-MT-Bold', 'LilyUPC-Bold', 'LilyUPC-Bold-Italic', 'LilyUPC-Italic', 'Lucida-Console', 'Malgun-Gothic', 'Malgun-Gothic-Bold', 'Mangal', 'Mangal-Bold', 'Meiryo-&-Meiryo-Italic-&-Meiryo-UI-&-Meiryo-UI-Italic', 'Meiryo-Bold-&-Meiryo-Bold-Italic-&-Meiryo-UI-Bold-&-Meiryo-UI-Bold-Italic', 'Microsoft-Himalaya', 'Microsoft-JhengHei', 'Microsoft-JhengHei-Bold', 'Microsoft-New-Tai-Lue', 'Microsoft-New-Tai-Lue-Bold', 'Microsoft-PhagsPa', 'Microsoft-PhagsPa-Bold', 'Microsoft-Sans-Serif', 'Microsoft-Tai-Le', 'Microsoft-Tai-Le-Bold', 'Microsoft-YaHei', 'Microsoft-YaHei-Bold', 'Microsoft-Yi-Baiti', 'MingLiU-&-PMingLiU-&-MingLiU_HKSCS', 'MingLiU-ExtB-&-PMingLiU-ExtB-&-MingLiU_HKSCS-ExtB', 'Mongolian-Baiti', 'MS-Gothic-&-MS-PGothic-&-MS-UI-Gothic', 'MS-Mincho-&-MS-PMincho', 'MT-Extra', 'MV-Boli', 'Nyala', 'Palatino-Linotype-Bold', 'Palatino-Linotype-Bold-Italic', 'Palatino-Linotype-Italic', 'Plantagenet-Cherokee', 'Raavi', 'Raavi-Bold', 'Sakkal-Majalla-Bold', 'Segoe-Print-Bold', 'Segoe-Script', 'Segoe-Script-Bold', 'Segoe-UI', 'Segoe-UI-Bold', 'Segoe-UI-Bold-Italic', 'Segoe-UI-Italic', 'Segoe-UI-Light', 'Segoe-UI-Semibold', 'Segoe-UI-Symbol', 'Shonar-Bangla', 'Shonar-Bangla-Bold', 'Shruti', 'Shruti-Bold', 'SimHei', 'Simplified-Arabic-Bold', 'SimSun-&-NSimSun', 'SimSun-ExtB', 'Sylfaen', 'Symbol', 'Tahoma', 'Tahoma-Bold', 'Times-New-Roman', 'Times-New-Roman-Bold', 'Times-New-Roman-Bold-Italic', 'Times-New-Roman-Italic', 'Traditional-Arabic-Bold', 'Trebuchet-MS-Bold', 'Trebuchet-MS-Bold-Italic', 'Trebuchet-MS-Italic', 'Tunga', 'Tunga-Bold', 'Utsaah', 'Utsaah-Bold', 'Utsaah-Italic', 'Vani', 'Vani-Bold', 'Verdana', 'Verdana-Bold', 'Verdana-Bold-Italic', 'Verdana-Italic', 'Vijaya', 'Vijaya-Bold', 'Vrinda', 'Vrinda-Bold', 'Webdings', 'Wingdings']
How to make MoviePy TextClip support chinese character?
If all fonts above can not support, we have to set a font that supports.
For example: font = r”C:\Windows\Fonts\msyh.ttf”
Here msyh.ttf is a kind of font that support chinese.
Here is an example code:
from moviepy.editor import *
print(TextClip.list("font"))
video = VideoFileClip("3.mp4")
txt_clip = TextClip("TutorialExample\n版权所有",fontsize=12,color='red',font = r"C:\Windows\Fonts\msyh.ttf")
txt_mov = txt_clip.set_position("center").set_duration(video.duration).set_opacity(0.5)
result = CompositeVideoClip([video, txt_mov])
result.write_videofile("3_textclip.mp4")
Run this code, we will see:
