First I typed the following commands in the terminal to install the necessary packages:
pip install moviepy
pip install ffmpeg
Then when I tried to run the following code, I got this:
from moviepy.editor import *
Error: RuntimeError: No ffmpeg exe could be found. Install ffmpeg on your system, or set the IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE environment variable.
To fix the error, I typed the following code above the previous line of code:
import os
os.environ["IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE"] = "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ffmpeg"
from moviepy.editor import *
This fixed the issue I was having earlier and I was able to import it. The location you see typed in the code was directly copied from the output from the location attribute when I typed pip show ffmpeg in the terminal. However, when I actually try and use the library, I get errors:
import os
os.environ["IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE"] = "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ffmpeg"
from moviepy.editor import *
clip = VideoFileClip("master_video.mp4")
