Windows: specifying path to ImageMagick in config_defaults.py #378

@WDBell

Description

@WDBell
IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY
    For linux users, 'convert' should be fine.
    For Windows users, you must specify the path to the ImageMagick
    'convert' binary. For instance:

    IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY = r"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\convert.exe"

"""

FFMPEG_BINARY = 'ffmpeg-imageio'
#~ IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY = 'auto-detect'
IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY = "C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-7.0.4-Q16\\magick.exe"

The final few lines of config_defaults.py indicate how the location of ImageMagick should be specified for use by moviepy. However, often when Image ImageMagick is installed these days (apparently with versions numbered 7x) convert.exe is not included. Fortunately, ImageMagick can be specified as shown here.

Suggest change to config_defaults.py.
