Sorry to insist, but I think DPX support is very important.<br>
<br>
It would take more testing by other users. As I wrote in a previous<br>
message, some versions work for me, and even in Arch, DPX and PNG used<br>
to work for me (not anymore, now).<br>

Please, can you test the rendering of a sequence of images (it only<br>
takes a few seconds), since you normally use Ubuntu 16?<br>

<br>
FFmpeg creates the images with a command (muxer) that implies %05d in<br>
the name and then, thanks to the image2 command (demuxer), it reads<br>
them (without the need to create a TOC file) and creates the video. It<br>
occurs to me that CinGG presets create the images via %05d and then,<br>
instead of being read by image2, the TOC file (not the video file!) is<br>
created and can be imported into CinGG (or other program). Perhaps a<br>
version of "imagelist.sh" is implemented? In short, the difference<br>
between ffmpeg and CinGG is the creation of the TOC file.<br>
<br>
I remember that my hypothesis about the problem is the management of<br>
absolute/relative paths, since the TOC is created and works: only the<br>
links are missing. </blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I am not sure it was designed as cross-application support?
