Cannot save video in run_mpc.py file

[robopassio]

I can run the demo of run_deep_highmpc as well as saving the animation perfectly. However, I cannot save the animation with the file run_mpc.py after uncommenting the following lines:

    # run_frame = partial(run_mpc, env)
    # ani = animation.FuncAnimation(sim_visual.fig, sim_visual.update, frames=run_frame,
    #         init_func=sim_visual.init_animate, interval=100, blit=True, repeat=False)
    
    # #
    # if args.save_video:
    #     writer = animation.writers["ffmpeg"]
    #     writer = writer(fps=10, metadata=dict(artist='Me'), bitrate=1800)
    #     ani.save("MPC_0.mp4", writer=writer)
    
    # plt.tight_layout()
    # plt.show()

The following error happened:
