Common Issues

RuntimeError: No ffmpeg exe could be found

Full error:

RuntimeError: No ffmpeg exe could be found.
Install ffmpeg on your system, or set the IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE environment variable.

ffmpeg is normally downloaded automatically. If your environment blocks automatic downloads, install it manually:

Download ffmpeg

Download a build from https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ and extract it.

Set the path in config.toml

config.toml

[app]
# Windows example — note double backslashes
ffmpeg_path = "C:\\Users\\yourname\\Downloads\\ffmpeg.exe"

Restart the application

Restart the Web UI or API server for the change to take effect.

ImageMagick is not installed on your computer

ImageMagick is required for subtitle rendering. Install it for your operating system:

Windows
macOS
Ubuntu / Debian
CentOS / RHEL

Download the static library build from ImageMagick downloads
Run the installer — do not install to a path containing Chinese characters
Set the path in config.toml:

config.toml

[app]
imagemagick_path = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ImageMagick-7.1.1-Q16\\magick.exe"

brew install imagemagick

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

sudo yum install ImageMagick

ImageMagick security policy blocks temporary file operations

Full error:

ImageMagick's security policy prevents operations related to temporary file @/tmp/tmpur5hyyto.txt

ImageMagick’s default security policy on some Linux distributions restricts file operations. Fix it by editing the policy:

Find policy.xml

The file is usually at /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml or /etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml.

Edit the file pattern entry

Find the line containing pattern="@" and change rights="none" to rights="read|write":

<!-- Before -->
<policy domain="path" rights="none" pattern="@*"/>

<!-- After -->
<policy domain="path" rights="read|write" pattern="@*"/>

Save and restart

Save the file and restart MoneyPrinterTurbo.

OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files

This is a system-level file descriptor limit being hit during video processing.Check your current limit:

ulimit -n

If it is low (e.g. 1024), increase it for the current session:

ulimit -n 10240

To make this permanent on Linux, add to /etc/security/limits.conf:

* soft nofile 10240
* hard nofile 10240

Whisper model download failed

Possible errors:

LocalEntryNotFoundError: Cannot find an appropriate cached snapshot folder

An error occurred while synchronizing the model Systran/faster-whisper-large-v3

The Whisper model (~3 GB) must be downloaded from HuggingFace, which may be blocked in some regions. Download it manually and place it in the correct location:

Download the model

Download whisper-large-v3 from an alternative source (see the README for Baidu Netdisk / Quark Netdisk links) and extract the archive.

Place in the models directory

Move the extracted folder so the structure looks like:

MoneyPrinterTurbo/
  models/
    whisper-large-v3/
      config.json
      model.bin
      preprocessor_config.json
      tokenizer.json
      vocabulary.json

Restart and retry

Restart MoneyPrinterTurbo. It will detect the local model and skip the download.

Videos generating with no subtitles

Check the following:

subtitle_provider is set — an empty string disables subtitles:
config.toml
```
[app]
subtitle_provider = "edge"   # or "whisper"
```
subtitle_enabled is true in your API request or Web UI settings.
ImageMagick is installed — subtitle rendering depends on ImageMagick. See the ImageMagick issue above.
