Animation in BricsCAD V18 for Mac

Hello!

Should animation feature work on Mac?

I tried ANIPATH command, was able to assign all parameters in dialog box, the process of animation creation started, but I always get an alert at the command prompt:
"The system reported an error while creating the video file.
Error Message: Unknown error: 127.
The created images are in the folder «/var/folders/9h/qq4s44q53kg89xbnzny79hph0000gp/T/BricsCAD/anipath/"

There is really a set of PNG files on the specified path, but they won't compile to specified video format (I tried all output formats - avi, mpg and wmv).
Is this a bug or the feature is not supported fully on Mac platform?

Thanks, Maxim

    Under the hood BricsCAD uses ffmpeg to create videos. If ffmpeg is not found, then as a fallback a set of PNG files is created.

    We probably should add ffmpeg to the installer of BricsCAD(Mac). Please enter a support request about this.

    Hi Tijs,

    Thanks for prompt reply.
    I'll try to install ffmpeg on my Mac and test ANIPATH again. Will report about results.
    I'll also create support request.

    Thanks, Maxim
