I think its too late but I'm writing this for other facing same problem, since I was trying but couldn't found any solution.

So you have to set up amazon cloudfront download distribution pointing to your S3 bucket (if don't know how to setup please see here) and then simply access using http (not https, don't know why it not working with https or directly via s3 url).

Just put cloudfront url as:

cv2.VideoCapture('http://xyz.cloudfront.net/myvideo.mp4')

Now it will work fine.

A presigned url for S3 object can be used.

url = s3_client.generate_presigned_url( ClientMethod='get_object', Params={ 'Bucket': bucket, 'Key': key } )

vidcap = cv2.VideoCapture(url)
