I'm trying to work with VideoFileClip and vfx functions from the Moviepy library but my interpreter keeps throwing a 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'moviepy.editor''.

I've installed and reinstalled Moviepy several times but to no avail

I tried: from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip, vfx

I expected the import statement to work.

Edit:

  1. Other imports like 'from moviepy.video.io.VideoFileClip import VideoFileClip' seem to work except the moviepy.editor

  2. library imageio and the program ffmpeg have already been successfully downloaded so the replies from this post aren't helping

  • How did you install Moviepy; what command(s) did you use? And is there any chance you have multiple Python installations (e.g., an old one and a new one)? Can you import moviepy by itself? If so, what does print(moviepy) show you? What version of moviepy do you have installed? What version of Python? What OS are you using? Commented Dec 17, 2024 at 12:38

try:

from moviepy import VideoFileClip

instead of:

from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip

It works.

this works for me with moviepy 2.2.1
original error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'moviepy.editor' suggested change result: AttributeError: 'VideoFileClip' object has no attribute 'set_audio'. Did you mean: 'with_audio'? fixed with that code edit.
Name: moviepy Version: 2.2.1 for this version the solution proposed is correct

Newest verison of moviepy doesn't really contain editor.py file whether if you download it with pip, clone it from git etc.
You can always go back to a previous version of the library, not the ideal but definetly worked for me.


pip uninstall moviepy

pip install moviepy==1.0.3

As it’s currently written, your answer is unclear. Please edit to add additional details that will help others understand how this addresses the question asked. You can find more information on how to write good answers in the help center.
so guys after the November release (2x) of moviepy they removed editor module to fix this error temporarily you can downgrade to Moviepy 1.0.3

Obviously, check your other requirements, but it appears that some versions of moviepy (at least at the time I am posting this) don't contain editor.py

Not ideal however, this script worked for me:

pip install moviepy==1.0.3 numpy>=1.18.1 imageio>=2.5.0 decorator>=4.3.0 tqdm>=4.0.0 Pillow>=7.0.0 scipy>=1.3.0 pydub>=0.23.0 audiofile>=0.0.0 opencv-python>=4.5

Moviepy change the structure. For version 2.2.1 that I using following code works. Try importing it as below:

from moviepy.video.VideoClip import TextClip, ImageClip  
from moviepy.video.compositing import CompositeVideoClip
from moviepy.video.io.VideoFileClip import VideoFileClip
