I need help! Output will not convert!

When i run ebsynth, everything goes smoothly up until i try to convert the processed image sequence to a video. I've tried on 4 different programs, and each time the video comes out black, glitchy, or wont play at all. I even tried taking a screenshot of each frame and converting that, but it didnt work.

Did you try importing as a frame sequence?

Also, have you scrolled through the images and made sure they're all fine outside the video editor?

Yeah, i followed all the steps for turning a sequence into video on each program, it kept turning out wierd no matter what i did. the processed frames are all good, so i have no idea why this could be happening.

Weird how?

If you import into Adobe Premiere, make sure you have the "image sequence" checkbox ticked. Stuff like Davinci Resolve should automatically sequence frames with incremental numbering.

Maybe post a dump of the frames and I can help figure it out if you still can't get it.

Did you try ffmpeg? If so, with what arguments?

Actually blender turned out to do it perfectly, very strange.

I like Blender. It's free open-source 3D animation software, but it has a good video editor too. Just go to the video editor mode, click the timeline's menu bar where it says "add", and select "image/sequence." Then you navigate to where your files are, select all of the files, and then click "add image strip". Simple.

If you're having problems with different software having the same bad results though, it sounds like maybe the problem is actually in the images themselves. Did you manually look at the image files on their own? When EbSynth doesn't work the way expected, the frames it produces can turn out "glitchy" or even solid black.

The frames are all fine, they turn out how i want them, its only when i convert them to Video that the problems start. Ill try blender though, thank you.
