Problem with FFmpeg
-
I have done everything per your instructions. Everything looks perfect. I get the four files two 'text' and one .MOV and one .MP4 files generated, however, when I execute the MP4 video file using either file in WIN Media Player or HP Video Player either program shows that the video is running but the screen is blank. Animator did generate a string of 51 frames. When FFmpeg is running I momentarily get two black system screens that have titles of 'windows\system 32\cmd.exe'. I am running WIN 7 - 64 bit system. This is my first test video. All I am doing is dropping a pin straight down into a block with a hole in it.
My previous attempts of generating a MP$ file of dropping the pin into a hole crashed my computer every time I executed the movie files. I deleted everything and started over several times. My above attempt is my last try when I thought everything looked good and no crashes.
Hope you have seen this before and have an easy fix, because Animator looks to be a very good program and I would like to use more often.
Thank you,

I am having the same problem as the OP. I get two cmd windows that appear to have text in them, however the windows are black background with black text which does not appear if you you try to highlight. I have tried to change the BG and Text colours with no effect.
I have managed to produce at least one video recently as an MP4 with FFmpeg.
Maybe I will try to download FFmpeg from somewhere else, but any advice on this issue gratefully received.

I downloaded a new copy of FFmpeg from here https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows
AND
Maybe more importantly I just waited for the cmd windows to close by themselves. I think the slower your PC and the bigger the video the longer they will stay open. Just have some patience and let FFmpeg run and all good.
