The recorder does not work properly (Krita 5.1 RC1)

After some discussion we found out this was because of 2 separate/unrelated issues:

  1. The recorder would not export a complete video. It would stop midway at the same point in the video each time
  2. The transition between the “result preview” and main timelapse had its animation cut

The first issue was a result of some missing images in the recorder folder. The exporter expects the image files to be numbered continuously. So the files should be numbered like 000001.jpg, 0000002.jpg, 000003.jpg, etc until the last one. If one is skipped the exporter stops at that number so it doesn’t make the full video. To fix this you can copy the previous image to replace the missing one. So if 000010.jpg is missing make a copy of 000009.jpg and name it 000010.jpg.

The second issue is a bug with the exporter. If you put in a high number for input_fps (I think above 60) that causes the animation between the preview and main timelapse to be cut. I think the higher you go the more it gets cut. This one I think we’ll have to update the code for the transition to work with any input_fps value.
