How to Find the Total Number of Frames in a Video in Python using OpenCV
In this article, we show how to find the total number of frames in a video in Python using the OpenCV module.
OpenCV has a number of built-in features that allow us to extract data from a video.
One of the features we can get is how many frames there are in a video.
Frames are the number of images that make up a video. A video is a series of images shown in sequence.
To find the total number of frames in a video using OpenCV, we use the following statement, cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT
This will get the total number of frames in a video using OpenCV.
To see this in actual code, see the code below.
First we create a cap variable, which connects us to the video that we want to process.
Next, we create a variable, totalframecount, which will store the total number of frames in this video, princess.mp4.
Next, we print out the number of frames in the video.
And this is how we can find the total frames a video in Python using the OpenCV
module.
