pip install moviepy

they have tried
pip installl ffmpeg

but it doesnt work.

all the things i did on my windows is just

Please always provide full error logs (formatted) – in this case, have your friend share them with you, so you can share them here – to help with debugging. Also please complete the specs we ask for (the macOS version your friend is using is missing).

Did your friend follow the install instructions in the README? I'll admit the info about the config_defaults.py file is confusing as it was removed a while ago, see #1109.

A recent issue makes reference to an imageio update which may have broken the default install method of ffmpeg (automatically, while installing moviepy). pip installing ffmpeg is probably not what you want since that gets you a different package.

Either way, your friend should be able to install ffmpeg manually/separately via e.g. homebrew: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/ffmpeg

Well, this issue comment in imageio-ffmpeg makes me think your system is not (yet) supported. The later comments in the thread repeat what I mentioned above (install via homebrew).

If the info here and over there answers your question / helps you solve your problem, please don't forget to close this issue, thanks.
