I am very new to IM and am having trouble animating a DPX image sequence.

animate: no decode delegate for this image format

Can someone point me in the direction on how to have a dpx delegate?

what was your exact command line?

if you type

convert -list format

do you see something like

DPX* DPX rw- SMPTE 268M-2003 (DPX 2.0)
Digital Moving Picture Exchange Bitmap, Version 2.0.
See SMPTE 268M-2003 specification at http://www.smtpe.org


in particular is it listed as rw

your im is 6.6.2.6. perhaps there was a bug at that time. you might try upgrading to the current IM version at 6.7.0.7

Thanks the upgrade did the trick!
