Saving paraview animation
 
Hi to everyone
I would like to save animation in paraview, without saving all the 150 frame of my process. How can I do that?
I am on Linux, xubuntu, paraview 5.6
Thanks in advance

Anyone with answer to this? In the past i could create videos straight from the Save Animations option, but now it saves the frames as pictures instead of creating a video?

You should be able to select the file type for the animation in either of the two popup windows you encounter. IIRC, they switched the order of these two windows in some versions of PV.
Choosing a video file type here should give you what you want.

However, I usually advise to go the other route: export the images, then create an animation from them e.g. with ffmpeg. This allows you much better control over the animation itself. Playback speed, quality, resolution, duration... plus other benefits like not having to re-run the entire animation in case something went wrong in the process.
