Hi,
All, Each time I save animation. it always pictures? How can I generate animation (like avi etc.) by paraview4.40?

Hello,

best way to do this is to 'merge' your pictures into a movie using a tool like ffmpeg (LGPL 2.1 license).

This link has a short tutorial on how to do that.

I think this is the "best" way, because you get to make all the decisions on quality vs compression during encoding. Also you get choose codecs etc. for compatibility.

Hope this helps,
Oli
