Hi everyone,

I was saving my files into an animation, and getting following error message:

 ![Paraview_4](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7bde054ec380b57be62eaa505c28d0beea63b865.png)

I just gave the animation name test.avi

Best regards,  
Mithu

What version of ParaView are you using?

The fix will be in a future version of ParaView, specifically 5.12.0-RC2. You just need to wait for it to come out and start using it. Or use ParaView 5.11.2.
