I've attached a .hip file that demonstrates how to configure the FFmpeg node to create a gif from a series of images. You will need a more recent version of Houdini 18.0 as it uses the updated FFmpeg nodes. I will file an RFE to add a preset to the FFmpeg node for creating a gif.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey! i'm tryin to do this because animated GIF all the things! I lode in an image sequence (PNG) with a filerange top and that cooks fine, but when it gets to the ffmpeg top each one fails, but i don't see an error message...

The PNGs are quite small (32x32) because i'm making psuedo-pixel art (donkey kong country style).

i noticed that in mplay sometimes ffmpeg will fail at that resolution depending on the settings, but it seemed to be an issue with the container/codec there... seems like it should be no problem to make a gif of any size, right?


here is a zip with the files + hip, if anybody can help? ty

how to see selected (yellow border) node/nodes:

1)hover the mouse over the node graph
2)press F (for frame) on the keyboard

it will zoom in and center on any nodes which are currently selected.

Hey you should watch a couple of good tutorials by rohan dalvi and entagma which tackle just these two topics...

these videos from rohan dalvi show you how to drive animation by audio chops

this video from entagma shows you how to make 3D surface interference waves (with just sin waves).
