Upload video and create thumbnail from video in django

Question

Is there any model field for video in django? Any suggestion for plugin or snippets will be appreciated.

Answer 1

MoviePy doesn't handle uploading in Django, but it can do thumbnail generation very easily:

from moviepy.editor import *
clip = VideoFileClip("example.mp4")
clip.save_frame("thumbnail.jpg",t=1.00)

Answer 2

You may want to look at the django-video app. It supports thumbnail generation.
