It may be because of where your python is running. Try typing the fully qualified path for the input file, eg 'C:\Users\Yakir Oren\Desktop\fvid\image.png'

Python is funny with what it thinks is its root directory.

@YakirOren Yeah, try adding the full file path like @dtaivpp suggested and get back to us.

Hey the problem was on my part, I forgot to install the actual ffmpeg and not just the python lib. 😋
