Can't Export Animation As Video

[SansTheBoneAnimation (Paulo Heuman Rodríguez)]

I can’t export my animation as a video. I don’t have any option to change the file type. Please help.

@SansTheBoneAnimation Hey.

Ok try a few things first

1. Try to render to a folder that has no whitespaces in its name. Maybe try to render to C:\ if possible.
2. Make sure the actual file name has no spaces either.
3. Don’t save directly to one drive. Save to your local mahcine first, and then copy & paste it in the one drive folder to avoid issues with how one drive works.
4. There seems to be an issue with the file format since it says C:/Users/no/OneDrive/Pictures/Saved Pictures/sansteleportsandkillsyou.plx the filename should end in PCLX, not PLX
5. After checking all that, make sure you don’t have too many sounds on the same layer, particularly if they are on top of each other. Rather make several audio layers to overlap sounds properly, otherwise the plugin software might have issues merging them.
   
   You might need to delete and reimport the files before it works, but just in case create a new save file specifically to try deleting sounds.
   
   Note: Personally it’s better to always make the audio in a separate video editor, it’s easier and what professionals do all the time.
6. If after trying these workarounds you still cannot render, please send me a private message with the zipped file so we can take a look and see what’s might be happening with the file itself.

It looks like you‘re trying to trying to overwrite one of your project files (sansteleportsandkillsyou.pclx) with your exported video. Please instead save your exported video with a separate file name and make sure to use the standard file name extension for the file format you selected (e.g. .mp4, .avi or .webm) and not one of Pencil2D’s file name extensions (.pcl or .pclx).
