RuntimeError: No ffmpeg exe could be found - FFMpeg error in Windows 10

Question

I am trying to run

from moviepy.video.io.ffmpeg_tools import ffmpeg_extract_subclip

However I am continuously getting the followng error :

RuntimeError: No ffmpeg exe could be found. Install ffmpeg on your system, or set the IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE environment variable.

I have installed ffmpeg in my system and have added it in path. Also in cmd,

ffmpeg

gives proper output.

So anything I am doing wrong here ?

Answer 1

try this before importing moviepy:

import os
os.environ["IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE"] = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg"
