animation wb. outputting images to file

[bzb.dev001]

I'm following the instructions in http://freecadbuch.de/doku.php?id=anima ... e_schritte
I created a rotator to rotate an object using animation wb. Now I want to output the animation to a bunch of images to be converted to a video file. I've created the Photographer Dialog but have trouble configuring it to output images.

Something of note...
After using the Manager Dialog to create the My_Manager node in the model tree. Any attempt to select a function from the context menu (eg. About Manager, Edit, forward, backward, ping pong ) would result in error messages.

Same issue with all the animation wb objects added to the model tree.

I created a solid and then switched into Animation wb to create a Placer. When doing so results in an error message.

Code: Select all

I'm going to log this as a bug. Any objections?

Any objections?

Yes!
Animation workbench is not part of FreeCAD, it is an addon. Perhaps you can discuss this issue on the homepage of the animation workbench, but the FreeCAD bugtracker sure is the wrong place. And I would guess that microelly2 would not be aware of an issue there.

Possibly it is a python3 issue. Try one of the python2 builds of FreeCAD.

Can you direct me to the download location. I'm using Ubuntu.
I couldn't find any binary downloads. I looked at ...
