Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/path'

See original GitHub issue

when I run this command:

timecut https://bl.ocks.org/micahstubbs/3f439df92579c5bb2902fab15742ba87 --selector "iframe" --left 1 --right 1 --top 1 --bottom 1 --duration=120 --output=/path/to/output/video.mp4

I see this error in the terminal:

nice, thanks for the response @tungs

I’ll summarize what I read 😄

user error on the path supplied
edge case with blocks that have to border - user can omit crop arguments/flags
possible enhancement to give better error message and / or prompt the user to supply a valid path

I’m marking this as an enhancement issue: when using an output path where the user doesn’t have permission, there should be a clearer error than an EACCES error.
