Generated folder of .png files but no .gif generated. Maybe related to the dependency executables?

Windows 10 + Blender 3 +Bligify 1.3.9

I could not find any error messages in the blender logs. I also tried moving the executables to a different directory but that didn't solve the problem. I noticed after restarting blender the path preferences in the add-on window were not saved and reset to the default exe location.

I got the same issue, Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.

Same issue for me. I tried to go to previous version of Bligify (1.3.8) and same issue. I can see the PNG files are created and then the individual gif files are created and then whole folder disappears with no final gif. Rebooted laptop just in case that was issue. Also tried with brend new blender file and just moved the default cube forward 2m to keep it super simple. Still no final gif.

I have Windows 11 + Blender 3.5 + Bligify 1.3.9. It takes awhile sometimes for the .gif files to combine into one .gif, but I am able to get it to work fine.

This is my workflow and how it happens on my computer:

  1. Render animation using normal scene rendering, output to .png with color mode RGBA
  2. Go to Video Sequencer, import the rendered .png frames as an image sequence
  3. Go to N menu, Tools tab
  4. Click Render GIF
  5. First it creates .png images for every frame (again) in a _frames folder
  6. Then after blender shows it's done rendering, it still goes through and converts all of the .png to .gif. Both files stay in the folder.
  7. In blender, the cursor changes to a black square with the percent complete (numeric loading cursor) the add on is with combining the .gif frames to a final .gif
  8. The _frames folder with the .png and .gif images are deleted
