I have been unable to create a movie, dispite several hours of effort trying to make it work. My efforts to find solutions to the errors on the forum have been furstrated by my inability to search for the proper terms. I often get the message from the search feature, that the term I am searching for is too common. So, either there is a very large number of people with the same problem, or I am not properly selecting the error terminoloyg.
In the DOS window, what part of the error message should I search? E.g. Here is one of the last errors when I start-up Synfig.
code: GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property gtkmm_
_CustomObject_N6studio22CellRenderer_TimeTrackE::enable-timing-info after class
was initialised[/code]
I searched for “GLib-GObject-WARNING” but apparently that is a very common term. What part of the error message should I use for a search?

Can you be more specific? Which steps did you do to do so?
(what’s your operating system and Synfig Studio version, etc.)
Initially, none, unless you know how to fix it, if it is part of the cause of the problem. In general, if possible it would be good to have a copy of all the output of that console, because some messages could give us a clue of what’s not going well.
In any case, export the animation to png sequence must work. Later you can compose them to a movie in a video editor. Yes, we know it is pretty lame but windows version has always troubles to use third parties libraries, what would deliver you the wanted one-step movie export feature.

Thank you for the reply. Things are working for me now, when I export the frames as separate files, rather than directly to a movie. I was helped by hulf2012 in the Laser Simulation thread I had started. Simulating a laser show?
I am on version 0.64.1 Win64. Here is the full content of the DOS window after starting Synfig up;
