Permission and Process Error when trying to export Animation as a video using gif()

Hi guys, so I’m trying to compile a whole bunch of plots as one moving gif or video using the Plots.jl library alongside ImageMagick. However, whenever I run it, @animate seems to work fine but fails when it tries to input into gif() to save the video file. @gif works fine though. Not I’m working within the Atom text editor. I’ve included the code here, there’s some code before but it’s mostly for calculation and analysing the data:

TS = TDE(usol, 5)

slices = slide(TS, windowsize = 100)
diagrams = []
i=1
for slice in slices
    push!(diagrams,ripserer(pointify(slice)))
    print(i)
    print('\n')
    i = i+1
end

maxlim = 40
x = 0:0.1:maxlim
y = x

#Create Animation
anim = @animate for i in 1:1:length(diagrams)
    plot(diagrams[i], legend = false)
    # pd = diagrams[i]
    # birth0 = birth.(pd[1])
    # death0 = death.(pd[1])
    # birth1 = birth.(pd[2])
    # death1 = death.(pd[2])
    # plot(x,x, linecolor = "black", xlims = (0,maxlim), ylims = (0, maxlim), size = (600,550))
    # scatter!(birth0,death0,
    #             markerstrokealpha = 0, markeralpha = 0.6, markercolor = "deepskyblue")
    # scatter!(birth1,death1,
    #             markerstrokealpha = 0, markeralpha = 0.6, markercolor = "darkorange")
end
gif(anim, "animation.gif", fps = 15)

The error I get is:

**failed process: Process(`'C:\Users\eugen\.julia\artifacts\7350a6401f1c0d38cc3518193083bc4f83adfe99\bin\ffmpeg.exe' -v 16 -framerate 15 -i 'C:\Users\eugen\AppData\Local\Temp\jl_wCSgGt/%06d.png' -i 'C:\Users\eugen\AppData\Local\Temp\jl_wCSgGt/palette.bmp' -lavfi paletteuse=dither=sierra2_4a -loop 0 -y 'C:\Users\eugen\Documents\University Study Documents\PhD Coding\animation.gif'`, ProcessExited(1)) [1]**
