creating paraview animations

I successfully made some very nice .ogv animations several years ago. Paraview has changed a lot over the years and I forgot the steps involved, I am using 5.4.0 but I could use a newer version if necessary.
I have time step data.
solf_2D.005000.pvtu
solf_2D.006000.pvtu
solf_2D.007000.pvtu
solf_2D.008000.pvtu
solf_2D.009000.pvtu
solf_2D.010000.pvtu
solf_2D.011000.pvtu
solf_2D.012000.pvtu
solf_2D.013000.pvtu
solf_2D.014000.pvtu
Could someone point me in the good direction? Should I put all the .pvtu data in a separate file?
Thanks for your help.

Hi @swornom ,

Just opening the solf_2D… file in ParaView and saving an animation should work.

Thanks, quite simple. The problem is that I get this error (nothing to do with the ParaView files):

main decoder error: buffer deadlock prevented

which I do not know how to solve. If you know of a solution, please let me know.

I use this Linux

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
