How to Draw Shapes Over a Video in PyQt5 with Python

Are you trying to add some extra flair to your video applications by drawing shapes over a video in PyQt5 using Python? This is a common requirement for creating interactive or visually appealing applications. If you've ever found yourself wanting to overlay shapes while playing a video, you’re not alone. In this guide, we'll walk through a solution that allows you to accomplish this, ensuring that the video is retained as a label display, rather than merely a background.

Problem Overview

The challenge arises when attempting to play a video while simultaneously drawing shapes over it. The initial attempt may lead to the drawing appearing behind the video footage. Instead, we want the drawing to appear in front of the video. Understanding how to achieve this layering effect is crucial for any GUI application involving multimedia.

Solution Steps

To solve this problem, we'll utilize PyQt5 alongside OpenCV. Here’s how you can successfully draw shapes over a video:

1. Set up Your Environment

Make sure you have the required libraries installed. You can install them using pip:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can successfully add shapes on top of a video in your PyQt5 application. This approach keeps the video as a foreground element, allowing your drawn graphics to be displayed correctly. Whether it's for enhancing the visual appeal or for some interactive graphics, this method provides a strong foundation for your Python GUI applications.
