![]() 72 dpi is more than enough for digital work. If you have a high dpi your file size will increase fast depending on the number of frames you have, if it gets too big krita may not open your file anymore. Unless you plan on printing your frames, use 72 dpi. If I sum up all the tips I have in one sentence it would be “Be aware of your file size.” Once your file size reaches over 2GB krita will start struggling to open it, going over that krita might crash trying to load your file leaving you with a unusable file. Same as video location, but keep in mind you will end up with many images so its good to create a new folder to put them in. So you can set a start number that will be increased at each frame. The default is frame meaning all the exported images will have the same name, this will be suffixed with the frame number so the file name will end as frame0000.pngīy default the frames start at 0, but some programs have trouble with this. Just like video, there are some settings I want to give a quick explanation. It will export the each frame as an image, keep in mind layers will be flattened for this. You don’t need FFmpeg to export as an image sequence I suggest using another player like VLC to see the exported animations, or export in a video editor. kra file.Īt the time of this publication, animations exported in krita do not work with Windows Player, they display a black screen, but the animation is exported fine. \means it will be in the same folder as the. The location the video will be exported to, by default it is set to. I can’t seem to find information about this in the documentation but I can only assume it will change the resolution of the exported file to the one set here, by default it has the size of the canvas. Sets the range of the frames that will be exported, if any frame is out of this range it will not be exported. There are many settings in this dialog box, and while some seem intuitive like FPS I wanted to give a quick view over them. That being said, an actual video editor might be better to change these options. If these doesn’t make sense to you, the defaults work fine. Under the video export option, you have the Render asdrop down there you can choose the different possible formats you can export to.ĭepending on the format you choose you will be able to access more export options pressing. If you try to export a file with transparency it will fill it with a color. Important: Krita doesn’t support transparency in videos and gif format. Krita gives you 2 different modes to export your animation, video or image sequence, it also gives you the option to export both at the same time. Once you have set the path you don’t need to do this again. Both will work I just find copying and pasting faster.Īfter this you are ready to render animations to video and gif. Or click in the folder icon to search for where is your unzipped folder in your system and select ffmpeg.exe. Here make sure you have the video option on the top selected, and paste the path you copied, making sure to add \ffmpeg.exe at the end of it. The problem with this, is that this option will be disabled unless you have at least one frame set up, so just create a frame with anything in it like I did so you can access the render animation dialog box. Setting up FFmpegįor some weird reason, the path to ffmpeg is set inside the the dialog to render animation, this is under File> Render Animation. Inside the folder you unzipped, go to the \bin folder.Ĭopy the full path to this folder, now we need to get inside krita. Now you need to copy the path to the ffmpeg.exe file. If you download the build with something selected wrong it will not work in krita.Īfter downloading it unzip it anywhere in your PC. After selecting all these press the Download Build button.Linking needs to be static for it to work.Select your operating system (if in doubt select Windows-64 bit).For version you will want to download the stable version ( 4.2.1 at the time I took the screenshot).The problem I see the most is people downloading the wrong version. The website is very straight forward you need to choose your version, your system architecture and the type of linking. Windows users will need to download the zeranoe build. Krita uses ffmpeg to render video just like many other programs but it doesn’t come bundled with it. Krita version at the time of this tutorial was made was 4.2.8 Downloading FFmpeg I also encourage you to read this post to this end for reasons why you shouldn’t render video in krita and some useful tips. Krita has a documentation but I feel like it could use some images to make things easier to understand. Rendering animation in krita (Windows) One of the most asked questions I see about krita is how to export animation as a video or gif.
