Hi Mohamed,
I have a little moving making how-to page here which utilizes ffmpeg:

I have also found Handbrake to be useful (if you are on OS X).

Thank you, it is working with ImageMagick. However, I will try ffmpeg as well.

Hello, VMD user
I am trying to make movie for the simulation trajectory. After the last step ( rendering ) the process of converting the images to movie stoped.

The problem as shown is the attached photo I don’t have convert?

What is the suitable one for Mac Mojave 10.14.5. And how I can get it

convert is within software package ImageMagick: https://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php

However, for encoding movies I would rather recommend using ffmpeg (https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)

It's a swiss army knife for movie encoding and conversion and while the usage may be intimidating for beginners, you can find plenty of examples for specific tasks, e.g. here:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24961127/how-to-create-a-video-from-images-with-ffmpeg (this is for windows but for unix/mac terminal the only differences would be in paths like "/some/folder" instead of "C:\some\folder" and in the program name "ffmpeg" not "ffmpeg.exe".

HTH,

Pawel
