Okay, so since I've been using krita since may i figured i should really try animations. Everything was running smoothly. Frames were good, transitions are smooth, Everything! Until i came to save it. i downloaded the FFMPEG and used a tutorial to save is as a video. But it didn't work. So i thought I'd just try it again. I tried over and over again, changed it from high442 to baseline and all. I even tried using the CMD prompt to register the ffmpeg, but it showed me error. I continued trying, until it finally saved.... but as a black video. Can you please help me? I've been trying to render for about 2 days and this is my second animation (because krita crashed and didn't save my first one).


This is my screen when I press "Render Animation."

Do any of the other formats work? Can you paste the contents of the log file here? (It should be in the same directory as the video you rendered).

I just checked and I only get an error when either of the frame dimensions is not divisable by two, but that does not seem to be your issue.

If you go to your file system how big is the video file? Windows has really bad video players, so there is a good chance it won't work if you are trying it with something like the Windows Media player. A quick test would be to drag it into a web browser like Chrome. Just open a new tab and drag the video file to the empty area. Does it work with that? I think the video should work.

That was a big "gotcha" for me when I was originally messing around with animations on Windows. Other video players like VLC should play the videos fine.
