Video

This article demonstrates how to add video frames and set playback options using Aspose.Slides for Python via Java.

Install the package as described in Installation. Each example imports asposeslides before starting the JVM, then imports the API after the JVM is running.

Add a Video Frame

Insert a video frame that references an external video file.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0)

    # Add a video frame linked to a video file.
    video_frame = slide.getShapes().addVideoFrame(50, 50, 320, 240, "video.mp4")
finally:
    presentation.dispose()

Access a Video Frame

Retrieve the first video frame added to a slide.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation, VideoFrame

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0)
    slide.getShapes().addVideoFrame(50, 50, 320, 240, "video.mp4")

    # Access the first video frame on the slide.
    first_video = None
    for shape in slide.getShapes():
        if isinstance(shape, VideoFrame):
            first_video = shape
            break

    if first_video is None:
        print("The slide contains no video frames.")
finally:
    presentation.dispose()

Remove a Video Frame

Delete a video frame from the slide.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0)
    video_frame = slide.getShapes().addVideoFrame(50, 50, 320, 240, "video.mp4")

    # Remove the video frame.
    slide.getShapes().remove(video_frame)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()

Set Video Playback

Configure the video to play automatically when the slide is displayed.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation, VideoPlayModePreset

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0)
    video_frame = slide.getShapes().addVideoFrame(50, 50, 320, 240, "video.mp4")

    # Configure the video to play automatically.
    video_frame.setPlayMode(VideoPlayModePreset.Auto)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
