title: is it necessary in Anaconda for Matplotlib to install ffmpeg for animation saving?
body: <p>For animation saving I have read some propositions<br>
  1) manual installing ffmpeg this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>2) manual installing ImageMagick and changing matplotlib configuration file "matplotlibrc" this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#animation.ffmpeg_args: ''         # Additional arguments to pass to ffmpeg
  #animation.avconv_path: 'avconv'   # Path to avconv binary. Without full path
                                     # $PATH is searched
  #animation.avconv_args: ''         # Additional arguments to pass to avconv
  #animation.mencoder_path: 'mencoder'
                                     # Path to mencoder binary. Without full path
                                     # $PATH is searched
  #animation.mencoder_args: ''       # Additional arguments to pass to mencoder
  #animation.convert_path: 'convert' # Path to ImageMagick's convert binary.
  animation.convert_path: F:\Games\ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16\magick.exe
                                     # On Windows use the full path since convert
                                     # is also the name of a system tool.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where line with pass to installed ImageMagick was added manually</p>
  
  <pre><code>animation.convert_path: F:\Games\ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16\magick.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Two questions:<br>
  1 - what way is better for Anaconda?<br>
  2 - really Anaconda has no better way????</p>
