Rendered animation videos don't save my animation?

So I’m relatively new to Krita, downloaded it about a month ago. I use Windows 11, and have the version Krita 5.2.16.

I’m working on a rough animatic that I want to save as a video so I can show my friends, but every time I try rendering the animation, one of 2 things happen to the video (both examples are MP4, the only difference in the rendering process is I muted the audio for the first one):

  1. The video appears corrupted almost? All the lineart is low quality and most of the drawings and frames are missing? Idk how to describe it, so here is a screenshot.
  1. I used a screen recording for the audio, and when I try saving the animation with the audio unmuted, it doesn’t have any of the actual animation and the video is just the image of the screen recording? Heres a screenshot of what I mean.

Here’s what the Render Animation tab looks like for me

So I’m not sure what I did wrong or what to do. I tried rendering in the other file types and they either don’t open or just get the same results. I could try downloading the song instead of using a video, but I don’t know what would fix the issue with missing drawings and frames.

Please help!

:slight_smile: Hello @YammySamwich, and welcome to the forum!

I’m not an animator myself, so my answer may be wrong, but your screenshot from your rendering settings shows in the Layers Docker that you have your “Main Ink” layer is disabled and only your “ROUGH sk…” layer is on, so “Main Ink” will not be included in the rendering process.

The latest formal release of krita is version 5.3.2.1, available at Download | Krita
That version should be used if making bug reports.

You could make the .kra file available for examination by giving a link to a file sharing service in a reply here.

For your audio problems, I don’t understand your description of the process you’re using.
The only way that krita can create a rendered video file with an audio content is if an audio file (.mp3 or .wav) is imported into krita using the controls on the Timeline docker.

Another thing is that you set the export to start at frame 80. not sure if that’s intentional.
