[Python] Moviepy write_videofile works the second time but not the first?

I'm concatenating a list of video objects together then writing them with write_videofile, weirdly enough the first time I write the file, it plays fine for the first halfish then the first few frames of each clip in the file afterwards plays before freezing. But here's the odd part, If I write the exact same video object right after the first video writes, it writes just fine and plays perfectly.

Here's my code

from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip, concatenate_videoclips

clipslist = []
clips = ['https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787619651.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787628097.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/2222789345-offset-20860.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787624765.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787539697.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/39235981488-offset-3348.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C788412970.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787682495.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787962593.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787627256.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787573008.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C788543065.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787593688.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C788079881.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C788707738.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C788021727.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787595029.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/39233367648-offset-9536.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C788517651.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C788087743.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787497542.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/39233367648-offset-9154.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/7109626012888880881-offset-4818.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/72389234-offset-760.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787774924.mp4', 'https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/AT-cm%7C787565708.mp4']

for clip in clips:
dlclip = VideoFileClip(clip, target_resolution=(1080, 1920)) # Download clip
clipslist.append(dlclip)

videofile = concatenate_videoclips(clipslist)
videofile.write_videofile("final1.mp4") # Broken after the first halfish
videofile.write_videofile("final2.mp4") # Works entirely fine.
videofile.close


Any ideas? Any suggestions appreciated.

• Sometimes when the video is small enough it seems to write the first time just fine too.
• It seems there is no set point where it breaks, each time I write it for the first time it typically breaks at a different spot.
• I've tried waiting for the thread to exit and sleeping after the concatenation and that doesn't seem to fix the issue.
