Export bug

[comav]

I created a project, then I clicked "Save video", set up the settings and started to wait. When progress bar hit 100% the app became gray and there is no video file in destination folder.

What OS are you using?

[comav]

Windows 10 2004 x64

@mikecao @comav I noticed this exact issue on macOS 10.15.7 with the following export settings:

• 30fps
• Audio m4a file
• mp4 output
• Two scenes
• 10+ layers

Any suggested workarounds?

[mikecao]

@riverma Does your export finish even though the app crashes?

[mikecao]

Please try the latest version 1.2.0

Hi Mike, love this project you made! I was hoping to use it for a short clip, I followed the steps in the readme doc but not able to get the file exported I am using

• windows 10
• 1 minute mp3 audio clip
• an image and text, also added a wave spectrum to it

when I click save video, i get no response from the app. It goes unresponsive and I wait for an hour but nothing happens till I stop it from the command prompt could you resolve my issue?

@ChetanAmrao I've never heard of it freezing before. You can bring up the developer console to see if there are any errors thrown.

Yes, I found that option and got this error.

@ChetanAmrao are you running the installed application or the repo? It says it can't find ffmpeg.exe and it seems you're running it from a strange location.

[ChetanAmrao]

running from my downloads folder and I did install ffmpeg but idk why its giving me that error still

@riverma Does your export finish even though the app crashes?

@mikecao it did not.

I should mention I did find a workaround: ensuring my audio file was a LAME encoded MP3, not the iTunes M4A, and being methodical to add Astrofox filters right after a fresh restart and then hitting render - not having the program running for some time after previous render job attempts. i.e. "have you turned it off and on again?" ;)

Now, I did it using yarn and followed the exact same steps it rendered my video and then hangs at least video was exported but have to run it each time I export now? 🤔

I just got this when I exported a test video for the first time (I am a first time user), and this is what was printed in the console:
