Dear Chimera team,

I ma trying to record a simple movie using the following command 

#!/bin/csh -f
#

# 
windowsize 900 1094 

movie record supersample 4

volume #0 style solid; wait
volume #0 planes z,0,0; wait
volume #0 planes z,0,115; wait

movie stop
###bitrate 5000
movie encode output my_movie.mp4 quality highest framerate 25 mformat mp4 

however I keep on getting this error message:


/Applications/Chimera/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/bin/ffmpeg -r 25.0 -i /var/folders/2h/r_flycl50hj8klh8w4t1xmw400030f/T/chimovie_Vcz6-%05d.ppm -vf crop=floor(in_w/2)*2:floor(in_h/2)*2:0:0 -y -f mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -qscale 1 /Users/user/Desktop/folder/my_movie.mp4
An error occurred during encoding. See Reply Log for details.

Could you please let me know what am I doing wrong? I tried both on my laptop (MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) with OS version 10.11.6 (15G1004)) and our linux terminals (Linux sbterm 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64 GNU/Linux)

It happens on both Chimera 1.12 and Chimera 1.11

Many thanks in advance,

Edoardo
