Might be doing something wrong, but screenshots are blank? #3

I've got this running, and it all appears to work, but then when I go into the folder where the screenshots are saved, they're all just blank image files. Looks like multishot is creating the image when it's supposed to, but not writing the data to the image. Is this a known thing?

At the beginning i thought it was because I wasn't putting the "camera" anywhere (in free camera mode), but I figured that part out.

Curiously enough, I'm also using optifine, and i'm seeing the flash of the screenshot as in #2 (it doesn't bother me that much; i've set the interval really high). So I know what the screenshot should be saving!

I'm on Minecraft 1.12 and windows 10, if that helps. happy to try whatever.

Well, the first thing I would try is disabling/removing Optifine to see if that solves the issue. My first guess would be that this is indeed related to #2 and some kind of incompatibility with Optifine. Unfortunately I still haven't had the time to look into that issue...

I experienced the same black screen issue. The steps I took to reproduce it are as follows:

  1. Log in to a world
  2. Set a single path point and free cam mode
  3. Turn on Optifine's Fast Render (causes the freecam to appear briefly)
  4. Start the motion and recording
  5. Turn off Fast Render after some screenshots have been taken

After Fast Render is turned off, the screen should still flash to the screenshot when taken and the screenshots should be completely black. Restarting the recording fixes the issue.
