TypeError: 'ImageClip' object is not iterable

Expected Behavior

So, I'm trying to take a bunch of images in an "images" folder, turn them into ImageClips one by one, then put those clips together into a video slideshow.

Actual Behavior

I get the following error message: TypeError: 'ImageClip' object is not iterable

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

import os

#this makes a list of filenames in the "images" folder. It is confirmed working.
picsUsed = []
for (dirpath, dirnames, filenames) in os.walk('C:\yes\my\path\works\fine\project\images'):
    picsUsed.extend(filenames)

#this makes each item in the picsUsed list have the "images/" folder in the string representing its path. It is confirmed working.
for i in range(len(picsUsed)):
    picsUsed[i] = "images//" + picsUsed[i]

print(picsUsed)

imgClips = []

#this function is supposed to take each image specified by its own path/filename created above, and turn it into a usable video clip. This function is NOT working.
for le_clip in picsUsed:
    tempImgClip = ImageClip(le_clip).set_duration(5)
    imgClips.extend(tempImgClip)```

final_clip = concatenate_videoclips(imgClips)
final_clip.write_videofile("final.mp4", fps=24)

can you paste the full error ? It is unclear what line the error happens.

Sure! Here's the full error:

['images//niceimage1.jpg', "images//niceimage2.jpg", 'images//niceimage3.jpg', "images//niceimage4.jpg"]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\im\censoring\my\path\for\security_reasons\againAgain.py", line 26, in <module>
    imgClips.extend(tempImgClip)
TypeError: 'ImageClip' object is not iterable
[Finished in 2.688s]```

So the error happens at or before ```imgClips.extend(tempImgClip)```, I think.

Hi! Can you update moviepy to the latest version and try again please?

[Zulko]

It's a simple Python error, you use imgClips.extend while you should use imgClips.append.

Ah, okay, thank you!
