Found my problem and the solution for it.

I’m running my program in a lambda function and it was attempting to write the audiofile to the current working directory /var/task/ instead of /tmp(ephemeral storage). The temp_audiofile path was not set at the time, only the filename.

For a lambda function, you can only write to /tmp, thus the argument for both filename and temp_audiofile should have a /tmp prefix. Perhaps not necessary for the temp_audiofile if the audio parameter is set to “false”.

Here’s my line:

resized_video.write_videofile( filename=resized_path, codec=“libx264”, temp_audiofile=‘/tmp/temp-audio.m4a’, bitrate=“1500k”, remove_temp=True, audio_codec=“aac”)

I’m facing the same error while writing a video file inside aws lambda, few days back the same error occurred when i try to write a video file inside ec2 instance but i resolved that error by increasing the memory of my instance.
