Sentry Crash Report:

Description Peter Eszlari 2019-03-06 18:06:55 UTC 
The flatpak of Krita has access to two ffmpeg binaries:

1. /app/bin/ffmpeg

This one is bundled with Krita, supports all formats that are needed and is the one meant to be used.

2. /usr/bin/ffmpeg

This one is part of the runtime, doesn't include support for all formats and therefore should be ignored.

To make Krita find the correct binary, I did the following modifications:

a) plugins/extensions/animationrenderer/DlgAnimationRenderer.cpp

Replaced "/usr/bin" with "/app/bin".

b) plugins/impex/video/kis_video_export.cpp

Replaced "cfg.customFFMpegPath()" with "/app/bin/ffmpeg".

The second change is necessary, because else the first try to render would fail (the following would succeed). Because I don't know how to fix that, I didn't submit a patch.

I think it should be enough to look in the applicationroot/bin/ first, instead of first in the system paths.

Look first next to the krita executable for ffmpeg

Because, when running krita as a flatpak, we want our ffmpeg,
not the distribution one.
