Python and Geospatial Technology, Clip Lesson (Module 3 of 9)

This video, provided by the GeoTech center, is from the third module of the Python and Geospatial Mapping course, titled Python and Geospatial Technology. The course is designed for experienced users of Global Information Systems (GIS) platforms who are new to programming, with the goal of teaching them how to use Python to automate processes through the construction of short scripts in ArcGIS Pro.

During the video, Vince DiNoto, the director of the GeoTech Center, provides an overview of the clip command from arcpy, a geospatial Python command library included with ArcGIS Pro. The clip command extracts features from within a specified boundary, creating a new file for the clipped region. DiNoto guides viewers through a script that simultaneously clips multiple shapefiles at once.

The video runs 3:47 minutes in length. Additional resources from the Python and Geospatial Mapping course are available to view separately.
