Imagemagick not working

[maikeeb]

from moviepy.editor import *


def oneTransition(clipName, tranName):
    print(tranName)
    TextClip(clipName, color='white', size=(1920, 1080), bg_color='black', fontsize=50).set_duration(5).write_videofile(
        '../currentVideos/' + str(tranName).strip('\n') + '.mp4',
        fps=60,logger=None, remove_temp=True, threads=8)

Expected Behavior

creates a 5-second clip with a black background with text in the middle saying a string

Actual Behavior

sometimes works

sometimes gives me this error

.This error can be due to the fact that ImageMagick is not installed on your computer, or (for Windows users) that you didn't specify the path to the ImageMagick binary in file conf.py, or that the path you specified is incorrect

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

I have no idea

Other

I am running this in threads with about 10 happening at the same time.

Specifications

• Python Version: 3.7.4
• Moviepy Version: 1.0.0
• Platform Name: ubuntu
• Platform Version: 19.10

Hello, it looks like the fix is here: #401 (comment)
You will need to find and edit your ImageMagick policy file.

[maikeeb]

I did that and it still has this error, where it sometimes doesn't work.

[maikeeb]

running this without threading doesn't have the same issue

[tburrows13]

That is very strange. Unfortunately I have no idea about a proper fix, the integration with ImageMagick not very stable. You can see in #1145 (comment) I've started a version of TextClip that doesn't use ImageMagick, which will probably be the default in v2.0.

[tburrows13]

See #1472 - TextClip's are being re-implemented in v2.0 so this will no longer be an issue.

I am using Moviepy and TextClip on docker. And I have the same issue

[VinceDerPrince]

found a fix?

[prathapkr]

found any fix?

Hi, yes. I managed to find the solution
There is policy.xml file in imagemagic's installation directory where you need to remove one line
That worked for me.
There is an answer on stackoverflow but I forgot the link.

If you are using docker, you can use same solution here

First, need to check that your ImageMagick policy.xml is working well in your local system.
And copy this file (normally exist in /etc/ImageMagick-6/ but recommend copy it into your project repository) into the docker container from Dockerfile.

COPY [LOCAL policy.xml PATH] /etc/ImageMagick-6/

There are also other solution in Dockerfile in moviepy official repo.

# modify ImageMagick policy file so that Textclips work correctly.
RUN sed -i 's/none/read,write/g' /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

Hello, it looks like the fix is here: #401 (comment) You will need to find and edit your ImageMagick policy file.

This fixed my similar issue. The policy had blocked the resource starting with "@".
