FFMPEG binary not found. about moviepy HOT 13 CLOSED

It means that it cannot find FFMPEG. Have you installed FFMPEG ? On linux, it simply means downloading a recent FFMPEG binary on the website and placing it in /usr/bin. Tell m if it solves your problem.

Ya thanks, i installed FFMPEG root only but i don't know how to set the correct path. Now i am getting into this error, please i am not fully expert in solving this buzzle Traceback errror..

Please check that you entered the correct path.

from moviepy.

In the traceback error you only need to read the first lines (they tell you where the error happened) and the last lines (they tell you what is really going on). Here the last two lines tell you that the file "motif.png" couldn't be found. This is perfectly normal, because you don't have this picture.

You cannot try the MoviePy examples on your computer, because these examples require many videos and (in this case) pictures that are not included with MoviePy. The examples are just to show you how to use MoviePy. Instead, you must try to make scripts with videos that are on your computer.

Oh .. got it. So guess i installed successfully. Thanks for your quick help. + star for you. i ll take it from here.

from moviepy.

I will leave this issue open. Just tell me if you meet problems, it's important that I know if there are the bugs or ununderstandable error messages of the program.

Well, I am trying soundtrack.py in that example. i edited with correct path but seems throwing below error. Can you help me to solve?

MoviePy error: FFMPEG encountered the following error while writing file file:///home/ri/studio/master/moviepy-master/moviepy-master/convert/test.ogg:

Unknown encoder 'libvorbis'


The audio export failed because FFMPEG didn't find the specified codec for audio encoding (libvorbis). Please install this codec or change the codec when calling to_videofile or to_audiofile. For instance for mp3:
   >>> to_videofile('myvid.mp4', audio_codec='libmp3lame')
ri@ri-desktop:~/studio/master/moviepy-master/moviepy-master/examples$ 

from moviepy.

For some reason the program tries to write the audio in OGG format but it cannot because you don't have the codec on your computer. What is strange is that normally MoviePy should not try OGG, it should try MP3. Are you trying to write a WEBM format video ? Can you paste your code so that I can tell you what to change to make it work ?

from moviepy.

thanks for the quick replay .. This is the code .. i just edited the location only

Another thing is i edited this line make it to work

 @requires_duration
def write_videofile(self, filename, fps=24, codec=None,
             bitrate=None, audio=True, audio_fps=44100,
             preset="medium",
             audio_nbytes = 4, audio_codec= None,
             audio_bitrate = None, audio_bufsize = 2000,
             temp_audiofile= "file:////moviepy-master/moviepy-master/convert/test.ogg",
             rewrite_audio = True, remove_temp = True,
             write_logfile=False, verbose = True):

If temp_audiofile is None then it's throwing me this error

ValueError: The audio_codec you chose is unknown by MoviePy. You should report this. In the meantime, you can specify a temp_audiofile with the right extension in write_videofile.

It seems that this is a bug that appeared a few days ago and made it mandatory to have the libvorbis codec, it has been fixed in the MoviePy version on Github but I forgot to update the version in the Package Index. Now I have done all the necessary, all you need is to update moviepy (exactly the same steps you did the first time, if you did it with pip it should be "sudo pip install --upgrade moviepy") and it should work.

However, in your example, you use a test.ogg file as the soundtrack. If you don't have libvorbis or libtheora installed on your computer, it will probably not work, you need to use another format for the soundtrack (mp3 should work).

Tell me if it solves the problem.

Can I close this issue ?

from moviepy.

U there ..?

Everything perfectly fine and i almost closing my project.

Now i just need convert flac to mp3 and i issue the below command

ffmpeg -i hang_drum.flac -acodec libmp3lame destination_path.mp3

I already tried to install sudo apt-get install lame ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53 but Nothing happened, same error

I'm closing this as old (MoviePy now relies on ImageIO for ffmpeg)

from moviepy.

Hey i installed MoviePy on my ubuntu computer but when i run this:
from moviepy.editor import *
Imageio: 'ffmpeg.linux64' was not found on your computer; downloading it now.

But it doesn't download. I downloaded manually "ffmpeg.linux64" , now i m not sure where to place it. Can you please help.
