In MMA (8.0.0/Linux), I tried to to create an animation using the command
Export["s4s5mov.mov", listOfFigures]
and got the output
Doing a little research, one can read in the Documentation Center that
And I was wondering if there is some way to overcome this limitation within MMA.
EDIT
Here is a sample code of the inverted animation problem:
movingP = Table[Show[
ParametricPlot[{Sin[x], Cos[x]}, {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]}, AxesLabel -> {x, y}],
Graphics[{Red, PointSize[Large],
Point[{Sin[(n \[Pi])/8], Cos[(n \[Pi])/8]}]}]
], {n, 0, 15}]
Export["~/Desktop/point.avi", movingP]
will produce an avi like this:
(The gif has been tampered to look like the avi)
Export
to avi and then use ffmpeg (outside Mathematica) to convert to quicktime. $\endgroup$
