Error with python while trying to run script for first time...

[conorfenlon]

Hi Mikey, I can't seem to run this script without getting an error. This is the first time I'm attempting to use the script. I'll post the traceback below.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I'm not very python savvy, so I would appreciate any hep you might be able to offer me. Thanks in advance.

blender -b 1.blend -P video_editors_render_script.py

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

@Flaick
Make sure that you download the latest copy of the script. I am also primarily running on Ubuntu Linux (20.04LTS), so I usually notice issues there first. :)

You can Right Click and "Save Link As..." the following link for the latest version of my script:
