[Python] imageio.ffmpeg.download() Requires a different install of imageio, and imageio won't...

I'd like to run VideoFileClip from moviepy. I'm running Spyder through Anaconda.

When I do try to run it, I get the error:

RuntimeError: imageio.ffmpeg.download() has been deprecated. Use 'pip install imageio-ffmpeg' instead.'
​

When I try pip install imageio-ffmpeg, I get:

Requirement already satisfied: imageio-ffmpeg in c:\programdata\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (0.3.0)
​

Other answers recommend sudo pip install imageio==2.4.1. I get the error:

moviepy 1.0.0 has requirement imageio<3.0,>=2.5; python_version >= "3.4", but you'll have imageio 2.4.1 which is incompatible.
Installing collected packages: imageio
Found existing installation: imageio 2.5.0
Cannot uninstall 'imageio'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.


If I try conda remove imageio I eventually get...

The following packages will be REMOVED:

imageio-2.5.0-py37_0

moviepy-0.2.3.5-py_0

scikit-image-0.14.2-py37ha925a31_0


So I'm concerned that if I actually remove imageio and install v2.4.1, I'll auto-remove moviepy, and then when I eventually reinstall moviepy, it will bump my imageio up to 2.5 again, completing the circle of incompatibility.

Any help?
