Moviepy still prints a progress bar even after setting `verbose` to `False`
Question:
I tried to suppress the console output produced from moviepy when calling the “write_videofile” method.
I passed the verbose argument as False to no avail.
It still outputs something like:

Is there any way to suppress completely the output?
Answers:
Update – This answer is now out-of-date. Use logger=None, or set logger to a custom subclass of a Proglog logger for more fine-grained control.
Yes.
There is parameter in write_vidiofile and write_audiofile called progress_bar. Pass progress_bar=False to remove the progress bar. Usually you’ll also want to pass verbose=False as well, like you have.
In order to get this functionality, you’ll probably have to run pip install moviepy --upgrade (swap pip for pip3 if using Python 3), as this has only just been added (Added in moviepy version 0.2.3.1).
The full usage is this:
clip = VideoFileClip("video.mp4") # Generate a clip
clip.write_videofile("output.mp4") # Prints progress bar and info
clip.write_videofile("output.mp4", verbose=False) # Just prints progress bar
clip.write_videofile("output.mp4", verbose=False, progress_bar=False) # Prints nothing
A progress_bar parameter should also be coming to write_images_sequence, we’re currently aiming for version 0.2.3.2.
Now in 2019 you have to use clip.write_videofile("output.mp4", verbose=False, logger=None) to hide progress bar, using progress_bar=True got an error like: TypeError: write_audiofile() got an unexpected keyword argument 'progress_bar'
Calling help(clip.write_videofile) shows that:
verbose (deprecated, kept for compatibility)
Formerly used for toggling messages on/off. Use logger=None now.
So you have to set the parameter logger=None.
For moviepy==1.0.3
use
logger=None
Now in Moviepy version 1.0.3 its as follows:
video.audio.write_audiofile(audio_file_path.wav, verbose= False, logger= None)
progress_bar is changed to logger.
Just set it to None if you don’t want progress bar.
To disable the progress bar or any other message from moviepy to appear make sure to set
Logger to None
write_videofile(self, filename, logger=None)
