How to convert an EXR or PNG image sequence to mp4 videos for daily reviews

[@jamesconkle9158]

Does this support OCIO conversion if my renders are in ACEScg and I need sRGB .mp4 files?

[@anchorpoint2988]

Not yet, but it's definately on the todo list

[@squashbanana]

For some reason the mp4 file it spits out is much darker than what is seen in the exr files. What could be the reason?

[@anchorpoint2988]

What color profile are you using on your EXR?

Really helpful! Thank you.

install ffmpeg button is not working, tried installing manually and no luck, please help

[@anchorpoint2988]

What you can also do is click on the “…” in the top right corner and pick “Send us a Message”. Just type in that we talked here. We will get the error log with the message.

I would really like if Anchorpoint was available for linux, since I finally have an animation software I can use, but it can only export in PNG sequences. Plus, I can't even find a good PNG sequence to mp4 converter, they're all one of those cheap converters that only change the File extention

[@anchorpoint2988]

Yeah, we also would like to have that. It will come at some point in the future but does not have high priority now.

Hi, nothing happens when I click to install the conversion tools, can you help?

[@anchorpoint2988]

After the installation, can you try the conversion again?

[@abbyholdaway8473]

@@anchorpoint2988 Hello, I have the same problem! When it prompts to install conversion tools nothing happens, even when I try clicking install multiple times and retrying the conversion.

Hi, i have 86.000 exr files which i want to convert to mp4. But when setting the file map the exr Files are not visible? Only when i have like 50.000 exr files that i can see the files in the map. How can i fix this?

[@anchorpoint2988]

Do you mean that they are not shown in the Anchorpoint browser?

[@Midnightrundj]

@@anchorpoint2988 yes exactly.

[@anchorpoint2988]

@@Midnightrundj Okay, then this is something we cannot solve so easily.

[@Midnightrundj]

i just figured out that i can render with ffmpeg very easly@@anchorpoint2988

Hi, I have a problem it says I need to install conversation tools when tryna convert to MP4, but when I click install it shows an error

[@anchorpoint2988]

Wait until tomorrow. We will publish an update which should fix that issue

[@BlackhandAl]

Thank you so much. I tried like 10 different online converters but maximum on these was 10 frames per second.

[@UllesBulle]

Really sad that you guys put this feature behind a paywall:(

[@srtcreation1506]

Hi there is not conversation

[@WorstSpieler]

As a PNG sequence, can i create a transparent MP4 video? I cannot tell as my image sequence is a transparent background with black text.

[@anchorpoint2988]

That does not work with mp4 and the h264 codec. We would need to add an option to export via mov with prores, which supports alpha. But then you have a much larger file size

[@SenaKeito]

@@anchorpoint2988 how you do that?

[@RaphaelMeißner-w4e]
