[Python] Exception has occurred: OSError MoviePy error: failed to read the first frame of...

WHAT I'M DOING:

Looping a video for a certain amount of time.

However, I'm getting the following error (The file is not corrupt):

Exception has occurred: OSError
MoviePy error: failed to read the first frame of video file Pexels Videos 1292738.mp4. That might mean that the file is corrupted.


at the commented line in my code:

chdir(r'C:\Users\jack_l\Downloads\makeAVideo\stock')
myStock = next(walk(r'C:\Users\jack_l\Downloads\makeAVideo\stock'), (None, None, []))[2]
stockFile = VideoFileClip(str(myStock[0]), target_resolution=(1080, 1920), audio=False)
stockFile = stockFile.loop(duration = 300)
stockFile = stockFile.set_fps(30)
chdir(r'C:\Users\jack_l\Downloads\makeAVideo')
stockFile.write_videofile('theVideo.mp4') # this line


Does anyone know what's going wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
