Today when I was drawing, with recording turned on, a window showed that said sopmething about recording being disabled, because there is not enough disk space (which is not true, as I still have over 200 GB free space).
It said I had to then manually turn it on, which I did, but it’s not working. New snapshots are not appearing it it’s folder, new one wasn’t created either.
When drawing it shows it is recording, but in reality it isn’t
I created new file and recording worked just fine. Is there anything I can do to resume recording for this drawing? I tried restarting the computer, but it didn’t help
My operating system is Windows 10, Krita’s version is 5.2.2
Little update. It DID record after all, but not how it should have. A dozen or so frames stay at the end, new ones appear before them and the numbers of ones at the end change accordingly
When exporting it’s missing most of frames and they’re not in chronological order. I don’t think it’s possible to save, but what I can do to make sure it doesn’t happen again?
I believe there is a script you can apply to renumber the snapshots so that you can export them into an MP4. If you do a search on this site you should be able to find it (I believe it was created by freyalupen).
In terms of running out of room, could this have been a message about running out of memory rather than disk space? I don’t know the memory implications of the recorder, but I do know that many users select png format and they leave the snapshots at full size rather than reducing them to the size needed to render the MP4.
I hope that works for you but if they’re not in chronological order then the result will probably not be useful.
I think the script is ideally used for situations where there are missing frames or white frames, which does happen sometimes. @freyalupen would be able to give advice about this.
If the recorder fails to save a frame for any reason, it will show a message “The recorder has been stopped due to failure while writing a frame. Please check free disk space and start the recorder again.” But I couldn’t guess what the reason it failed might’ve been in this case, or why the frames would become out of order after restarting it.
The script that’s been linked is only designed to subtract from each frame number so they start at zero. If the frames are out of order, it won’t help with that.
Total Commander can do it, it has mass renaming and if you hand over the pics sorted by time of creation it can rename the files in that order. Total Commander is Shareware for Windows, that means you can test it free of charge, the good thing is the functions are not cut in any way it is the same version as the full version, beside a nag-screen when starting it.
