Is it possible to write video or audio file in current directory using moviepy in Azure Functions

Question

I want to use moviepy to concatenate videos in azure functions, even though it is running locally but after it is deployed to azure functions its giving error that functions have read only access.

I used below code: final_clip.write_videofile('finalvideo.mp4',codec='libx264', audio_codec='aac', temp_audiofile='temp-audio.m4a')

And when I used the following codes: final_clip.write_videofile('/tmp/finalvideo.mp4',codec='libx264', audio_codec='aac', temp_audiofile='/tmp/temp-audio.m4a')

logs

console logs expanded

@Harish Gavel ,

Thanks for reaching out to Q&A.

Azure Functions is sanboxed environment. Applications are highly restricted in terms of their access of the file system.

Please look into File system restrictions and considerations . I would highly recommend you to use a Blob storage account to read and write files using the blob storage bindings available in Azure Functions. You can also take a look at the python sample for reference

I hope this helps!
