MoviePy TextClip has a color property that can be set to a color string, such as color='white'.
Is there a way to set the text color of a TextClip to a specific RGB value?
I tested it using ideas from other programs and it seems it can use strings like:
color="rgb(255,0,0)"
color="#FF0000"
color="#F00"
It accepts also string with transparency but I didn't see difference.
color="rgba(255,0,0,128)"
color="rgb(255,0,0,128)"
color="#FF000080"
Minimal working code:
from moviepy.editor import *
#print(b'\n'.join(TextClip.list('color')).decode())
COLOR = 'rgb(255,0,0)' # OK
COLOR = '#FF0000' # OK
COLOR = '#F00' # OK
COLOR = 'rgba(255,0,0,10)' # OK
COLOR = 'rgb(255,0,0,10)' # OK
COLOR = '#FF000010' # OK
#COLOR = 'FF0000' # ERROR
txt_clip = TextClip("Hello World of Python", fontsize=70, color=COLOR)
txt_clip = txt_clip.set_duration(10).set_fps(24)
txt_clip.write_videofile("output.mp4")
It uses program ImageMagick to generate image with text so it should accept these colors
All allowed names you can see with
print(b'\n'.join(TextClip.list('color')).decode())
