  • $\begingroup$ I did some digging this question could more like does Blender python still uses rig.animation_data.nla_tracks with object? $\endgroup$

There are a couple of scripts in one rig = bpy.context.active_object in the other rig = bpy.context.active_object.data.materials[0] I'm assuming you are on the first as the second (materials one) creates the animation_data.

The objects are taken from the context.selected_objects collection, by name, then sorted, then iterated and made active.

However if you have an object selected that doesn't have any animation_data, ie has no action with keyframes nor a driver, then the script will fail because obj.animation_data is None and as the error says

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'nla_tracks'

One fix would be to replace

objs = bpy.context.selected_objects

with 

objs = [o for o in bpy.context.selected_object if o.animation_data]

or go straight to names

names = [o.name for o in bpy.context.selected_objects
            if o.animation_data]

to make sure each object, from selected_objects collection, has animation data.

    $\begingroup$ Thanks for the answer, yes it does solve the first problem and then i got an other one. But i don't know should i post an other question or should i just ask for the working script if you did make it work? For the problem i get an error. RuntimeError: Error: unable to add strip (the track does not have any space to accommodate this new strip) Note that i m beginner in python or should i say bpy $\endgroup$
