Hello!

I’m having issues on exporting an animation from a results foam file into mp4. Once I start to export the animation Paraview 5.12.0-RC1 crashes.

_Note: I recently updated from 5.9 to 5.12.0-RC1. (In previous version this issue was non-existent, I was getting low quality animation and updated to recent version to see if I had better results)_

These alerts come up before crashing:

Paraview version:

Hi Walter!

Thank you, I also tried uninstall and re-install Paraview to see if this solved the issue, but no luck. Is your team expecting to consolidate more bugs before cutting another build/release?

Should I go back 1 version to keep working?

Thanks!!
