MoviePy OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe | BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

macOS Ventura 13.5

I'm trying to split an audio mp4 file into few chunks to add one of them to a video clip. Here is the code:

from moviepy.editor import *
audio = AudioFileClip('/Users/User1/Desktop/video_creating/my_music.mp4')
clip = audio.subclip(1, 25)
clip.write_audiofile('samples/sample_1.mp4')

But its shows me an error message reporting:

OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

MoviePy error: FFMPEG encountered the following error while writing file sample_1.mp4:

b"[aost#0:0 @ 0x131e39240] Invalid encoder type 'libx264'\n"

What am i doing wrong?

Is there any other ways to edit audio/video files in Python?

I tried to uninstall ffmpeg then install it again. Tried to do brew install lightgbm. But still nothing seems to be work.

Solution

  • I tested and I believe the file type mp4 is incorrect and the folder samples does not exist which causes the error

    You have to pass a .mp3 file to the AudioFileClip() function and make sure you have a folder called samples

    However you can use moviepy.video.io.ffmpeg_tools.ffmpeg_extract_audio to extract sound from an .mp4
