SO, it started quite nicely with a fully working program. However nearing the end... or at the end of my programming experience or asking it to program something for me, it wrote in some nasty nasty screen flickering shit. I couldn't stop it and it quickly just froze my screen where the only option was to push the button. I tried it a second time to confirm, but this time I was able to quickly go to a different CLI window and kill that sonobabich. Here is what it came up with in case you want to try it. maybe it only screws up my computer:

print("Error: Could not read the image.")
return

gray_image = cv2.cvtColor(original_image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
steps = duration * 10 # 10 frames per second
for i in range(steps + 1):
# Calculate the threshold value (0 to 255)
threshold = int((i / steps) * 255)
# Create the thresholded image
thresholded_image = np.where(gray_image < threshold, 0, 255).astype(np.uint8)
# Resize the thresholded image to fill the window

That's called the Lambo effect. Once you buy one, you can't help it but to also buy it a house and an E-reader.
