write_video

torchvision.io.write_video(filename: str, video_array: Tensor, fps: float, video_codec: str = 'libx264', options: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, audio_array: Optional[Tensor] = None, audio_fps: Optional[float] = None, audio_codec: Optional[str] = None, audio_options: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) None[source]

Writes a 4d tensor in [T, H, W, C] format in a video file.

This function relies on PyAV (therefore, ultimately FFmpeg) to encode videos, you can get more fine-grained control by referring to the other options at your disposal within the FFMpeg wiki.

Warning

In the near future, we intend to centralize PyTorch’s video decoding capabilities within the torchcodec project. We encourage you to try it out and share your feedback, as the torchvision video decoders will eventually be deprecated.

Parameters:
  • filename (str) – path where the video will be saved

  • video_array (Tensor[T, H, W, C]) – tensor containing the individual frames, as a uint8 tensor in [T, H, W, C] format

  • fps (Number) – video frames per second

  • video_codec (str) – the name of the video codec, i.e. “libx264”, “h264”, etc.

  • options (Dict) –

    dictionary containing options to be passed into the PyAV video stream. The list of options is codec-dependent and can all be found from the FFMpeg wiki.

  • audio_array (Tensor[C, N]) – tensor containing the audio, where C is the number of channels and N is the number of samples

  • audio_fps (Number) – audio sample rate, typically 44100 or 48000

  • audio_codec (str) – the name of the audio codec, i.e. “mp3”, “aac”, etc.

  • audio_options (Dict) –

    dictionary containing options to be passed into the PyAV audio stream. The list of options is codec-dependent and can all be found from the FFMpeg wiki.

Examples::
>>> # Creating libx264 video with CRF 17, for visually lossless footage:
>>>
>>> from torchvision.io import write_video
>>> # 1000 frames of 100x100, 3-channel image.
>>> vid = torch.randn(1000, 100, 100, 3, dtype = torch.uint8)
>>> write_video("video.mp4", options = {"crf": "17"})
