output path does not exist, causes vcsi to crash

[connect192168]

my OS: Windows 10 (build 2004, the latest one as of writing this)

my install process: confirming that the lastest version of Zeranoe's ffmpeg was installed and added to my path pip install vcsi (that's it, i'm assuming that the pypi install instructions are correct and complete)

the vcsi command I used: vcsi -v -r -o test\Screens test\

full command prompt text dump: `T:>pip install vcsi Collecting vcsi Using cached vcsi-7.0.12-py3-none-any.whl (16 kB) Collecting jinja2 Using cached Jinja2-2.11.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl (125 kB) Collecting parsedatetime Using cached parsedatetime-2.6-py3-none-any.whl (42 kB) Collecting numpy Using cached numpy-1.19.1-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl (13.0 MB) Collecting pillow Using cached Pillow-7.2.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl (2.1 MB) Collecting texttable Using cached texttable-1.6.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl (10 kB) Collecting MarkupSafe>=0.23 Using cached MarkupSafe-1.1.1-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl (16 kB) Installing collected packages: MarkupSafe, jinja2, parsedatetime, numpy, pillow, texttable, vcsi Successfully installed MarkupSafe-1.1.1 jinja2-2.11.2 numpy-1.19.1 parsedatetime-2.6 pillow-7.2.0 texttable-1.6.2 vcsi-7.0.12

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

any help would be appreciated.

I also got exactly this error message. Solution: The path in the -o parameter did not exist.

Root cause can be reproduced on my end. I manually created the folder and it worked fine.

I understand this is not an issue anymore. Feel free to reopen if needed.
