WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:05.150 And now that you can take a photo with Python, let's see also how to take a video. 00:05.180 --> 00:07.370 So it's not going to be much more complicated. 00:07.400 --> 00:09.470 We're going to start from the same code. 00:09.470 --> 00:12.800 I'm just going to first comment what we don't need. 00:12.800 --> 00:15.800 So we're going to initialize the camera here. 00:15.800 --> 00:20.120 But for the video resolution is not going to be the same option. 00:20.120 --> 00:22.070 So I'm going to comment that line. 00:22.070 --> 00:25.550 We're still going to flip the camera and wait for two seconds. 00:26.120 --> 00:27.950 But then we're not going to take a photo. 00:27.980 --> 00:29.330 We're going to take a video. 00:29.330 --> 00:34.910 So for the video resolution instead of still size, we have. 00:34.910 --> 00:38.480 So we can do camera dot video size. 00:38.930 --> 00:40.370 That's another option. 00:40.370 --> 00:44.690 So video size and the same thing we need to provide a tuple. 00:44.690 --> 00:49.640 So I'm going to give 640 and 480 okay. 00:49.670 --> 00:52.430 That's the resolution that we had previously on the terminal. 00:52.430 --> 00:53.990 I'm going to keep the same okay. 00:53.990 --> 00:56.780 But you can also decide to use another one. 00:56.810 --> 00:57.140 All right. 00:57.170 --> 01:02.750 So depending on if you take a photo or a video the option here is going to be different. 01:02.750 --> 01:07.760 And then to take a video well we have the camera dot take photo. 01:07.760 --> 01:16.880 But we have also when I write it here camera dot is going to be Record underscore video. 01:16.910 --> 01:20.750 You need to provide the file to save the video. 01:20.750 --> 01:21.710 So let's do. 01:21.740 --> 01:22.310 Home. 01:22.310 --> 01:26.030 So slash home slash pi slash camera. 01:26.030 --> 01:29.030 And then slash let's call it my video. 01:29.060 --> 01:30.440 Dot mp4. 01:30.440 --> 01:32.690 So once again I use the mp4 format. 01:32.690 --> 01:35.660 I close everything and I'm just going. 01:35.690 --> 01:37.430 To add another log here. 01:37.430 --> 01:41.030 So after we initialize just to say that we start to. 01:41.060 --> 01:42.410 Record the video okay. 01:42.440 --> 01:46.400 Because otherwise we're not going to see anything for a long time. 01:46.610 --> 01:51.800 So print um let's say starting video. 01:51.860 --> 01:57.920 And actually where in this record video, the first argument is going to be the path. 01:57.920 --> 01:59.960 But then we can add a second argument. 01:59.960 --> 02:03.440 And the second argument is going to be the time to record. 02:03.470 --> 02:06.560 And in the terminal that was milliseconds. 02:06.560 --> 02:11.180 So in the terminal for example for seven seconds you had to write 7000. 02:11.180 --> 02:15.080 But here it's going to be seconds directly okay. 02:15.110 --> 02:22.100 So if you write 7000 it's going to record for 7000 seconds, which might be a bit too long. 02:22.100 --> 02:25.400 So seven seconds you just put seven. 02:25.430 --> 02:25.790 All right. 02:25.790 --> 02:31.610 So to recap here we initialize the camera and then we set a video size. 02:31.760 --> 02:36.170 We can flip the camera horizontally and vertically if we want. 02:36.200 --> 02:40.550 Just going to wait for two seconds just to be sure that everything is correctly initialized. 02:40.550 --> 02:44.150 And the focus is right and well, just that kind of stuff. 02:44.180 --> 02:46.820 Then I have a log to say I'm starting the video. 02:46.850 --> 02:52.280 I record the video for seven seconds and I save it inside this file and then it's done. 02:52.280 --> 02:54.110 So let's run that. 02:55.430 --> 02:59.390 So it's initializing and then we should see starting video. 02:59.510 --> 02:59.780 Okay. 02:59.780 --> 03:02.750 So I'm going to move my hand in front of the camera. 03:02.750 --> 03:05.120 And at some point. 03:05.150 --> 03:05.780 Done. 03:05.810 --> 03:06.200 Great. 03:06.200 --> 03:08.660 So let's see what we have in our camera folder. 03:08.660 --> 03:12.740 And we have a new file my video dot mp4. 03:12.770 --> 03:14.390 Let's open that. 03:14.600 --> 03:16.700 And you see it's seven seconds. 03:16.700 --> 03:19.820 And that's well that's the video I just took. 03:21.050 --> 03:21.860 All right. 03:21.860 --> 03:29.780 So as you can see taking a photo or taking a video from Python with this Pi camera module is quite easy. 03:29.810 --> 03:35.210 You just initialize the camera with a few options, and then you have one function to take a photo or 03:35.210 --> 03:35.690 a video. 03:35.690 --> 03:37.250 And that's pretty much it. 03:37.250 --> 03:41.630 So it's going to be quite easy to include that inside our final project.
