I've had the same problem and solved it kind of like in this thread changing lines 45 to 50 from video_creation/background.py as following:

with VideoFileClip("assets/mp4/background.mp4") as video:
        new = video.subclip(start_time, end_time)
        new.write_videofile("assets/mp4/clip.mp4")

[LukaHietala]

That should fix the issue.
