MoviePy clip preview interruption problem

Author: AlkisPisCreated Nov 10, 2025Updated Jul 14, 2026

If during a preview with clip.preview() the user presses [Esc] or [Q], MoviePy crashes, issuing the following error: "MoviePy error: FFPLAY encountered the following error while previewing clip: None". Now, to my knowledge, FFPLAY never crashes by pressing these keys. Anyway, can this be prevented in some way?
