Hello, I have been painting in Krita for about half a year and everything suits me. Except for one thing: There is no way I can export speedpaints to Krita. I first draw a drawing in Krita on a tablet and I save all the stages of the drawing in a special folder, but since it is impossible to export the video on Android, I transfer the folder with all the drawing stages to my computer and already try to export the speedpaint there. But this doesn’t work! The computer simply does not see my files in this folder, no matter how hard I try to change them (Moreover, if I draw everything on a computer, then I can export everything normally. Which is strange) Because of this, I have to transfer all the drawings for speedpaint back to my tablet again, and mount them yourself into a separate video. This is most inconvenient. Help.
I have the latest version in Windows and Android tablet and working ffmpeg in Windows
There is something about the mechanism of the Recorder process involving document creation time that controls whether or not the Recorder docker is aware that a timelapse record is available for exporting.
I’ve never looked into that but someone else may be able to help with it.
If you have a numbered sequence of images in a folder, you can bring them in as animation frames with File → Import animation frames.
Create a New document of the same size as the recorded image sequence then bring them in that way into krita then render them out as an animation.
That would not give you the Recorder docker export features such as ‘result preview’.
Also, for a long timelapse, it would have a large RAM usage which may be too much.
Hm…Pretty interesting. Thanks for solution. But im interested, why the Krita dosent see my files when i want to make spedpaint. Just whats wrong with average png android files?
You can create a timestamped folder with the scheme yyyymmddhhmmss so 20230622104500, for example, in your recording folder as subfolder and copy your speedpainting pictures from Android into that folder. Does it work now, using that timestamped sub-folder in your recording-folder as substitution?
I changed the title of the topic to recording because it doesn’t seem to be about the speedpainting drawing technique but instead about creating a recording or time lapse video.
In Android there is a recording feature where you can record what is happening on screen. Have you tried that? You would find that in your Quick settings panel.
For use on a computer, there are many free video editors that will accept a .png sequence as input. I’m not familiar with them but it’s a well known way of generating video output files.
Also, it’s possible to control ffmpeg from the command line to make a video from an input file sequence, which is what krita does when it renders an animation or exports a Recorder sequence.
Someone else will have to give advice about that if needed.
again, I was in my “bubble” and didn’t recognize the things happening in between in the topic…
