Thanks @zeke I will investigate. Just confirming, this is within the virtual env and after installing dependencies?

python3 -m pip install virtualenv
python3 -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Oh forgot to follow up it was me. My FFMPEG installation was hosed. Brew uninstalled, reinstalled, and all is well. 😅
