Working-with-Cine-Files

• show the file
• convert to different format

To show a .cine file with python run:

import cv2
import numpy as np

# Create a VideoCapture object and read from input file
# If the input is the camera, pass 0 instead of the video file name
cap = cv2.VideoCapture('Camera1.cine')

# Check if camera opened successfully
if (cap.isOpened()== False): 
  print("Error opening video stream or file")

# Read until video is completed
while(cap.isOpened()):
  # Capture frame-by-frame
  ret, frame = cap.read()
  if ret == True:

    # Display the resulting frame
    cv2.imshow('Frame',frame)
    
    # Press Q on keyboard to  exit
    if cv2.waitKey(25) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
      break

  # Break the loop
  else: 
    break

# When everything done, release the video capture object
cap.release()

# Closes all the frames
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Convert to different format

In this case to .avi

import cv2
import numpy as np

# Create a VideoCapture object and read from input file
# If the input is the camera, pass 0 instead of the video file name
cap = cv2.VideoCapture('Camera1.cine')

# Check if camera opened successfully
if (cap.isOpened()== False): 
  print("Error opening video stream or file")

frame_width = int(cap.get(3))
frame_height = int(cap.get(4))
   
size = (frame_width, frame_height)

result = cv2.VideoWriter('filename.avi', 
                         cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'MJPG'),
                         10, size)


# Read until video is completed
while(cap.isOpened()):
  # Capture frame-by-frame
  ret, frame = cap.read()
  if ret == True:
    result.write(frame)
    
    # Press Q on keyboard to  exit
    if cv2.waitKey(25) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
      break

  # Break the loop
  else: 
    break

# When everything done, release the video capture object
cap.release()

# Closes all the frames
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
