Complete working example for using local images with MoviePy V2:

from collections.abc import Callable
from moviepy import *
from PIL import Image
from PIL.Image import Resampling
import math
import numpy

def zoom_effect(
    clip: VideoClip,
    ratio: float = 0.04,
) -> VideoClip:
    """
    Apply a zoom effect to a clip.
    """

    def _apply(
        get_frame: Callable[[float], numpy.ndarray],
        t: float,
    ) -> numpy.ndarray:
        # Get the frame
        img = Image.fromarray(get_frame(t))
        base_size = img.size

        # Calculate the new size
        new_size = (
            math.ceil(img.size[0] * (1 + (ratio * t))),
            math.ceil(img.size[1] * (1 + (ratio * t))),
        )

        # Make the size even
        new_size = (
            new_size[0] + (new_size[0] % 2),
            new_size[1] + (new_size[1] % 2),
        )

        # Resize the image
        img = img.resize(new_size, Resampling.LANCZOS)

        # Crop the image
        x = math.ceil((new_size[0] - base_size[0]) / 2)
        y = math.ceil((new_size[1] - base_size[1]) / 2)
        img = img.crop((x, y, new_size[0] - x, new_size[1] - y)).resize(
            base_size, Resampling.LANCZOS
        )

        # Convert to numpy array and return
        result = numpy.array(img)
        img.close()
        return result

    return clip.transform(_apply)

size = (1920, 1080)

        ImageClip(url).with_fps(24).with_duration(5).resized(size)
    )

    slides[n] = zoom_effect(slides[n])

video = concatenate_videoclips(slides)
video.write_videofile('zoomin.mp4')

Thanks allot! this is great work

Thanks for the great function.

thank you
