Hello @imemine ,

The local environment is different from the Firebase environment, make sure that you configured your Firebase to use moviepy. Take a look at this Stack overflow post as it provides the steps and format on how you can use VideoFileClip in Firebase.

If the above option doesn’t work, you can contact Google Cloud Support to further look into your case. Let me know if it helped, thanks!
