this aseprite extension is for exporting animations to mp4 and mkv files.
- Added option for looping. Enter a number more than 1 and the script would create a new _loop video file as well. Example: 2 equals playing the video twice (looping it once)
Download and install FFMPEG on your system and add it to the Environment Variables. You can check this guide too: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ffmpeg-windows (not sponsored lmao)
- download the Export Video file
- open aseprite, File > Scripts > Open Scripts Folder
- paste the script in the folder that's opened
- open your aseprite file
- export the frames using the built-in export menu (to jpg or png files)
- open the script from File > Scripts > Video Export
- choose THE FIRST exported frame (e.g.
animation1.png) CHOOSE THE FIRST ONE OR OTHERWISE YOU MAY GET A SHITTY OUTPUT - choose where to save the file, specify the name and choose one of the extensions (mkv or mp4)
- click "Export Video"
- wait a few seconds and check the folder you chose
- say thanks
Note: You can make a looped animation by entering a number more than 1 in the "Loop Number" section
To get a log of FFMPEG (the video maker tool used for this project), copy the conf.lua file
to the same directory where your aseprite file is, so each time a ffmpeg log error would be made. change
the true to false if you want to prevent the logging (default is false, so you can remove the file too)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Everytime you make changes to the conf.lua file, you gotta restart the whole app. That's
just how it works unfortunately.
