AWS Lambda - Moviepy Error -

[ghoshtapo]

I am trying to add text to a GIF in an AWS Lambda Function. I am stuck with this for the last couple of days. if you could help me that would be great. FYI - have ffmpeg executable bundled with the lambda.

Here is my relevant code

def creategif(text, gif,
               hor_align='center', ver_align='top',
               text_height=20, text_width=60):

       .....
...

        txt_clip = txt_clip.set_position((hor_align, ver_align)).set_duration(clip.duration)

        # Overlay the text clip on the first video clip
        video = CompositeVideoClip([clip, txt_clip])

        # Write the result to a file

        video.write_gif("/tmp/pr1n.gif")

IOError: MoviePy Error: creation of None failed because of the following error:

convert: not authorized `@/tmp/tmpRGnjui.txt' @ error/property.c/InterpretImageProperties/2981.
.

.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

Did you install imagemagick ?

[ghoshtapo]

I did not. Doesn't AWS lambda come pre-installed with imagemagick? If not, then which ImageMagick deps do I have to add to the lambda? I am building the lambda from an Amazon Linux Ec2

[Zulko]

Can't help with that sorry.

[ghoshtapo]

No worries. I got it to work. thanks

@ghoshtapo Just curious, how did you get it to work? I'm running into the same error. Thanks for your help!

I ended up firing up a Linux AMI ec2 and adding magick and ffmpeg and the libs(lib64) in the deployable:

@ghoshtapo Thanks for your help. Did you also add the convert binary for ImageMagick, or was magick enough? I got ffmpeg to work but I'm still running into problems getting ImageMagick to work on my lambda.

Getting this error specifically:

convert: not authorized `@/tmp/tmpgmdp05z6.txt' @ error/property.c/InterpretImageProperties/2981.

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

Where did you download the magick library ? Do we need have to just download, exact and add to zip ? No need for installing ?
