Initial uses of TREND without internet connection

trendmain and trendreconstruct depend upon moviepy and imageio to read, process, and write movies. During first uses with a fully functional internet connection, imageio automatically downloads and installs ffmpeg and freeimage to the appdata directory. However, absence of a stable internet connection may prevent these downloads and prevent TREND from processing and exporting movies. Running TREND later with an internet connection should rectify this. Alternatively, ffmpeg and freeimage should be downloaded manually and placed in the appdata directory.
