I know that I can do this after the fact with ffmpeg, but I'd like to avoid re-encoding if possible. y = my_data fig = plt.figure(figsize=(16,9)) def ani(i): # Animation Code animator = FuncAnimation(fig, ani, frames=y.shape[0]) # Can't figure out what extra_args to set here ffmpeg_writer = FFMpegWriter(fps=y.shape[0]/sound.duration_seconds, extra_args=['-scale', '1920x1080']) animator.save('mymovie.mp4', writer=ffmpeg_writer) print(ffmpeg_writer.frame_size) # prints (1152, 648) ipd.Video('mymovie.mp4') As you can see above, I have tried a few extra_args, however I can't get anything to work.
