set_duration ignored on TextClip about moviepy HOT 7 CLOSED

Interesting. My guess is that ffmpeg changed the way to handle images. In my version (from 2 months ago) a png file appears as a 1-frame video (so with duration 0.04 at 25fps). I'll adapt the code.

Thank you for the quick reply. On a separate note - shouldn't set_druation trump all other forms of duration checking (or even omit them alltogether)?

set_duration is an effect that comes in after the creation of the VideoClip or TextClip so it cannot influence what happens during creation.
And I really want to check for the duration of videoclips at creation time, it's an important step, it enables to evaluate the number of frames in the video clip, see if it is corrupted, etc.

Here the problem is that with the new ffmpeg we should not check for duration of pictures, since they have none. Once this will be fixed in MoviePy, set_duration will do its job properly.

There is this line in editor.py that gives off error:

Ah thanks, I forgot to git-add it. It is now fixed on github.
