	After wasting several hours, finally gave up on using IM as a proxy. Serendipitously, however, my thought process was led to using Pencil to sequence pngs into video. It was simple & fast to import PNG's from Synfig into pencil & export. The only codec that worked was Shockwave Flash (SWF), but that's better than what I've gotten Synfig's renderer/exporter to do. Kinda sad that a big 50 MB high-grade animation suite with advanced tools and auto tweening has more trouble rendering to video than a simple 5 MB bare-bones program. Am I taking up too much of the page? Sorry, I'll stop. [[User:Myuu\|Myuu]] 20:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)		After wasting several hours, finally gave up on using IM as a proxy.

		+	This sounds like an issue with the setup on your machine. Either ffmpeg isn't getting correctly installed, or Windows can't find it. If you're up for debugging it, we could investigate - probably easier to do on the forums, maybe? --[[User:Pxegeek\|Pxegeek]] 00:41, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

	More weirdness, I replaced the copy of ffmpeg that came with Synfig with the one that came with imagemagick, and now, instead of rendering empty 0 byte files, it renders (presumably one frame) 300 or so KB files that Windows Media Player and Avidemux still won't open, but imagemagick will open as a still. And yes, I'm sure that I had the "use current frame" box unchecked.

 I recently downloaded Synfig on Windows XP, and am new to the program. I've been testing out all the ffmpeg codecs, I can't get any of them to work. The only renders I've got to work right are the animated gif (unusable for serious work due to being limited to 255 colors) and the sequences of separate png files (requires sequencing in a separate video editor). Is this a problem with the Windows version of the program or is there something I could be doing wrong? I'd think that maybe it was just the Windows Media Player not recognizing the codecs, except a lot of the rendered files came out being listing as being 0 bytes in size.

 I downloaded ImageMagick, hoping to get it to Avi through that, only to discover that .miff won't render either. [[User:Myuu|Myuu]] 15:02, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 Wait a minute. Actually, now that I downloaded ImageMagick, and put a couple .dlls from Imagemagick's folder into synfig's, .miffs ''will'' render. However, it exports to a series of them anyway, rather than a single file. The fact that it rendered after I installed the program, however, makes me think that maybe I don't ''have'' ffmpeg, and that's why I can't render Mpeg's straight from synfig. Hmm.
