Windows - Unable to export simple sequence to gif

[MaximRouiller]

So I installed Numpy, ImageMagick, ffmpeg (all in 64 bits since I run Python 2.7 64 bits).

When I run the following code:

from moviepy.editor import *

VideoFileClip('D:/vids/myvideo.mp4').\
    subclip((10, 0.00), (10, 10.00)).\
    to_gif('D:/vids/test.gif')

I get the following error message:

MoviePy: Generating GIF frames
MoviePy: running convert -delay 4 -dispose 1 -loop 0 `seq -f D:/vids/test_TEMP%04g.png 1 1 250` -coalesce -fuzz 01% -layers OptimizeTransparency D:/vids/test.gif
convert.exe: unable to open image ``seq': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2643.
convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format ``seq' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/555.
convert.exe: unrecognized option `-f' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/1614.
MoviePy: GIF generated !

So since seq is not usable in Windows, I also installed Gow (Gnu on Windows) and it's still not running.

Help?

I believe I have fixed it but I will need more tests before putting it on github (fixed many things in one commit...). In the meantime, could you try to_gif('filename.gif', program='ffmpeg') and tell me if it works

The ffmpeg works but the gif quality is horrendous.

Now you should be able to make gifs using ImageMagick (this means with your original command to_gif('filename.gif') ) with the version on Github or on PyPI.

Thanks! I'll update my package and keep you posted.

In case you are still interested, that was a Windows issue that is now "solved", but you need to provide the path to ImageMagick. See:

http://zulko.github.io/moviepy/install.html#linking-to-imagemagick-windows-only

When you find some time, could you tell me if the current version works on your installation, so that I can close the issue ?

Thanks in advance !

I won't be working on that issue for a while.

You can close the issue for now.
