not created animation

Post by Kreol2013 »

Hi
I installed the latest version
I try to create an animation
and I get an invalid parameter 100(for delay)
convert -delay 100 -loop 0 00*.png animation_0.gif
and I get an invalid parameter 0(for loop)
convert -loop 0 00*.png animation_0.gif

what am I doing wrong?

You are running a Microsoft program called "convert.exe", not ImageMagic.

So you've upgraded your system? Previously, IM's directory was in front of Microsoft in the system path. Now it is behind, or not on the path at all.

You could reinstall IM, or simply modify your system path.

When you installed, did you tick the option to set the system path?

What happens when you type:

Code: Select all

convert -version

Code: Select all

convert /?
You'll probably get the same thing for both.

Does it say:

Code: Select all

Converts a FAT volume to NTFS.
If so, that's the Microsoft program.

this is default option

What happens when you type:
all requests issued
"Incorrect drive."

Now I'm an idiot, it was necessary to put a tick to install additional utilities

The question is solved, thanks

Ah, so you didn't install IM's convert. Yeah, that explains why it didn't run (tee-hee).
