无法保存matplotlib动画

Question

我正在尝试使用ffmpeg保存一个简单的动画.我按照教程安装ffmpeg,现在我可以从命令提示符访问它.

现在我运行这段代码:

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import animation

fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.axes(xlim=(0, 2), ylim=(-2, 2))
line, = ax.plot([], [], lw=2)

def init():
    line.set_data([], [])
    return line,

def animate(i):
    x = np.linspace(0, 2, 1000)
    y = np.sin(2 * np.pi * (x - 0.01 * i))
    line.set_data(x, y)
    return line,

anim = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, init_func=init,
                               frames=200, interval=20, blit=True)

mywriter = animation.FFMpegWriter()
anim.save('mymovie.mp4',writer=mywriter)

plt.show()

我收到此错误:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 523, in runfile
    execfile(filename, namespace)
  File "C:\Users\Renger\.xy\startups\b.py", line 23, in <module>
    anim.save('mymovie.mp4',writer=mywriter)

    with writer.saving(self._fig, filename, dpi):

  File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 948, in _execute_child
    startupinfo)
WindowsError: [Error 2] Het systeem kan het opgegeven bestand niet vinden

最后一个荷兰语的句子意味着:系统无法找到指定的文件.

这些错误意味着什么,我该如何解决？

Answer 1

您需要指定您的路径ffmpeg:

在linux上我使用:

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import animation
plt.rcParams['animation.ffmpeg_path'] = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg'

您显然必须指向您的Windows .exe而不是'/ usr/bin/ffmpeg'

如果您尚未ffmpeg安装,可以在此处获取

Answer 2

对于我在Windows上使用的一些动画"动画":

plt.rcParams['animation.ffmpeg_path'] ='E:\\Media\\ffmpeg\\bin\\ffmpeg.exe'
FFwriter = animation.FFMpegWriter()
anim.save('basic_animation.mp4', writer = FFwriter, fps=30)

路径应该与\ \而不是文件夹之间的/或\
