Overview of this book

Multimedia applications are used by a range of industries to enhance the visual appeal of a product. This book will teach the reader how to perform multimedia processing using Python. This step-by-step guide gives you hands-on experience for developing exciting multimedia applications using Python. This book will help you to build applications for processing images, creating 2D animations and processing audio and video. Writing applications that work with images, videos, and other sensory effects is great. Not every application gets to make full use of audio/visual effects, but a certain amount of multimedia makes any application a lot more appealing. There are numerous multimedia libraries for which Python bindings are available. These libraries enable working with different kinds of media, such as images, audio, video, games, and so on. This book introduces the reader to the most widely used open source libraries through several exciting, real world projects. Popular multimedia frameworks and libraries such as GStreamer,Pyglet, QT Phonon, and Python Imaging library are used to develop various multimedia applications.

Summary


We learned a lot in this chapter about creating 2D animations in Python using Pyglet. Specifically, we:

  • Learned some fundamental components of the Pyglet framework for creating animations. Modules such as Window, Image, Animation, Sprite, AnimationFrame, ImageGrid, and so on were discussed.

  • Wrote code to create an animation using a sequence of images or to play a pre-created animation.

  • Learned things such as modifying the position of the Pyglet sprite, adding keyboard and mouse controls and adding sound effects to the animation.

  • Worked on a cartoon animation project 'Drive on a Rainy Day'. Here we applied several of the techniques learned throughout the chapter.
