In python using imageio.mimsave gif file. How to make the duration of last frame is 3 seconds while those of other frames are 0.5 seconds, and the gif will loop for ever
To create a GIF using imageio.mimsave
in Python where the duration of the last frame is 3 seconds and the duration of all other frames is 0.5 seconds, you can specify the duration for each frame individually. Here's how you can do it:
Install the imageio
library if you haven't already:
pip install imageio
Use the imageio.mimsave
function to save the GIF, specifying the duration for each frame.
Here's a complete example:
import imageio
# List of image file paths or numpy arrays representing the frames
frames = ['frame1.png', 'frame2.png', 'frame3.png'] # Replace with your actual frames
# Define the duration for each frame
durations = [0.5] * (len(frames) - 1) + [3.0] # 0.5 seconds for all frames except the last one which is 3 seconds
# Save the frames as a GIF
imageio.mimsave('output.gif', frames, duration=durations, loop=0)
In this example:
frames
is a list of file paths to the images or numpy arrays that you want to include in the GIF.durations
is a list where each element specifies the duration for the corresponding frame in the frames
list. The last frame has a duration of 3 seconds, while all other frames have a duration of 0.5 seconds.loop=0
parameter makes the GIF loop forever.If your frames are numpy arrays instead of file paths, you can directly pass the list of arrays to imageio.mimsave
.
Here's an example with numpy arrays:
import imageio
import numpy as np
# Create some example frames as numpy arrays
frame1 = np.zeros((100, 100, 3), dtype=np.uint8) # Black frame
frame2 = np.ones((100, 100, 3), dtype=np.uint8) * 255 # White frame
frame3 = np.full((100, 100, 3), 127, dtype=np.uint8) # Gray frame
frames = [frame1, frame2, frame3]
# Define the duration for each frame
durations = [0.5] * (len(frames) - 1) + [3.0] # 0.5 seconds for all frames except the last one which is 3 seconds
# Save the frames as a GIF
imageio.mimsave('output.gif', frames, duration=durations, loop=0)
This will create a GIF with the specified frame durations and make
