#WickEditor #FFMpeg #VideoPain #AnimationStruggles
I love Wick for quick frame-by-frame stuff, but every single export becomes a battle with FFMpeg. Am I missing some secret export setting, or is this just the cross we bear for using a free tool? wick is pain ffmpeg
Send help. Or a pre-written FFMpeg script that just works. Or a pre-written FFMpeg script that just works
I just spent 4 hours debugging why my perfectly fine video export from Wick Editor was showing up as a garbled mess in my final render. Spoiler: it's always FFMpeg. Wick exports PNG sequences or MP4s with weird codec flags
Wick exports PNG sequences or MP4s with weird codec flags. Then FFMpeg throws cryptic errors like "pixel format not supported" or "non-monotonic DTS" and you want to scream.
ffmpeg -i wick_export.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "fps=30,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -c:a aac -async 1 fixed_video.mp4 And even then, half the time the alpha channel from Wick is gone.
Wick is pain (FFMpeg rant inside)
