Hangs on "Converting to gif" #20

Closed hollunder closed 1 year ago

hollunder commented 5 years ago

Hi there. I have gotten Gifine to build after some trouble, but I can't get it to export GIFs.

The build trouble was that it requires gobject-introspection on top of lua-lgi, the gobject-introspection-runtime is not sufficient (Arch Linux).

I did record ~600 800x600 frames, exporting them to mp4 works, but exporting to GIF makes it sit there indefinitely on "Working: converting". Likewise on the CLI it says "Converting to gif" and doesn't do anything noticeable. I suspect it is supposed to run 'convert', but there is no child process at all.

Lua 5.3 imagemagick 7.0.8.53 ffmpeg 1:4.1.3

I recommend running the command from a shell window, then you can see what it outputs. This tool is a simple wrapper over a collection of command line tools, so if something is hanging or not progressing then it's likely that tool failed for some reason. The terminal output should give you a hint as to what is going wrong.
