Issue with concat videos

[jorgesisco]

I have an intro and outro that I need to concatinate in several clips.

Expected Behavior

The clip should be the same as the original along with the intro and outro.

Actual Behavior

The clip that is now with an intro and outro looks all distorted.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

        path: str
            The path of the directory from which to retrieve the files.

        Returns:
        --------
        files: list
            A list of file paths in the specified directory.

    # Initialize an empty list to store the files.
    files = []

    # Iterate over each file in the specified directory.
    for file in os.listdir(path):

        # Check if the current path is a file.
        if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path, file)):
            # If it is a file, append it to the files list.
            files.append(f"{path}/{file}")

    # Return the list of files.
    return files

        videos: list
            A list of video file paths to be processed.

I encountered a similar issue. The workaround I discovered was to ensure that every video clip has the same size.
