0000_temp.mp4: No such file or directory found

[Emory-Sun]

I'm currently on a mac and have installed manim and have successfully run python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt. The problem is, when I try to test manim by running one of the example scenes python3 -m manim example_scenes.py SquareToCircle -pl, it returns the following error:

I've already checked that ffmpeg is successfully installed with brew install ffmpeg. Please, if anyone has any solutions, please make them as detailed and comprehensive as possible; I am an utter novice to anything terminal-related and have only some basic skills in python. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I have also tried changing the -pl at the end to -p, and it works, giving me a black image. So the problem lies in compiling multiple frames.

flag should matter not here. The output media should be a complete mp4 file with animations regardless.

files in protial_movie_files contains each individual "steps" of the manim animation, they are concatenated to produce the full animation using ffmpeg. I doubt the issue here is the ffmpeg install.

I never encountered such problem, but I don't use mac either.

Have you installed the other dependencies? https://github.com/3b1b/manim/blob/master/docs/source/installation/mac.rst

[Emory-Sun]

I reinstalled everything just to make sure, and I think I didn't run pip install manimlib the first time through. However, I'm now getting the error message No module named 'manimlib.continual_animation'.

should have been pip3 install manimlib

I see /Manim/ManimInstall/manim_3feb/big_ol_pile_of_manim_imports.py

If you are running the latest version this wouldn't be there.

How did you install and run the program ?

python3 -m manim is for running from git repository. If you are using the pypi install, there should be a manim binary that you can directly run from command line.

[Emory-Sun]

I ran pip3 install manimlib with no success again.

I'm not using the latest version of manim; I'm using the February 3rd version, as recommended by the video tutorials made for manim.

I'm not sure what you meant by the pypi install, or what you mean by a manim binary, but I installed the dependencies for manim via brew install ffmpeg and brew install sox and so forth. Then, in manim_3feb (which is essentially just the github clone renamed), I ran python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt, followed by python3 -m pip install pyreadline and python3 -m pip install pydub. Then, upon trying to run python3 -m manim example_scenes.py SquareToCircle -pl, I got the error in the first comment. So then I ran pip3 install manimlib (I'm in the same directory), with no success.

If you use manimlib with pip then you must use the most recent version, and render the videos as: manim example_scenes.py SqureTo ....

But if you want to use the February 3 version, you should not have it installed with pip because it generates conflicts.

[Elteoremadebeethoven]

See #243

[Emory-Sun]

Okay, I deleted the February 3 version and installed the current version. Installed manimlib via pip3 install manimlib. Everything works fine now. Thanks for everyone's help!
