Created attachment 104208 [details] the log file I got the error message Could not render animation: FFMpeg failed to convert the image sequence. Check the logfile in your output directory for more information. when attempting to render a gif. I'm an absolute noob so I don't even have the slightest clue how to begin comprehending this. I'm trying to render a fairy simple animation. It's 66 frames long, and doesn't have too many colors, but does have a gradient. It fails immediately upon trying but does give me a log file. I'm using windows 10, and the log file is in the folder I try to render a sequence into. I'm using ffmpeg version 20170223-dcd3418. Could anyone explain to me how to unravel this in layman terms?

Hi Seyl, Could you also make the original .kra file available? For instance, if your .kra file uses 16 bits floating point for channel, the frames cannot be saved to PNG, and the animation export will fail.
Sorry for the late reply and thank you! It's too large to add as an attachment so I've uploaded it to a cloud. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0DAW46corccTWNoazhIX25oN3M/view?usp=sharing
I have attempted to render a different animation. It's still a no go though https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B0DAW46corccemlaSWxqdWlhNGs?usp=sharing Attached in the drive is both the original file and the log for the second animation. Also for both files I'm using 32 bit float channel.
Yes, the channel depth is the problem. Krita 3.x doesn't automatically convert incompatible images when saving as png, and you need to save as png for ffmpeg to work. The only file formats that support 32 bits floating channel are .kra and .exr. But 32 bits float is only needed when you want to play with HDR tricks like exposure -- for your project it's overkill and makes the file take 4 times as much memory as needed! It's one of the most impressive animations I've ever seen, by the way! I'll try to backport the automatic down-conversion to 8 bits channel when exporting a 32 bits/channel file to png to Krita 3.2 -- that is already in the master branch, but I don't have windows builds of that yet.
Git commit fc3249033007778e099d863f0c95ff688c77a1f3 by Boudewijn Rempt. Committed on 06/06/2017 at 09:27. Pushed by rempt into branch 'krita/3.2'. Do not abort exporting to png if the channel depth or color model is incompatible We now warn the user that the image will be converted to 8 bits integer, and then allow the export to proceed.

Excuse me, but what do I do to fix this? I have the same issue.
I didn't mean to send that 3 times. Sorry.
