  • Unable to export MOV files in Spine 4.2.40

    anglais

When exporting a mov file, a pop-up window will pop up saying that the file cannot be written (the file name, directory name, or disk volume label is incorrect). I have reinstalled spine but still cannot export, and the old files cannot be exported to mov or avi.
But json can be exported normally.
Here are my log files:

    The error message you are encountering indicates that the file path or name you are using for exporting the MOV file contains invalid characters, specifically the > character in 幽靈-Dance1>Dance2.mov. Windows does not allow certain characters in file names, such as >, <, :, ", /, \, |, ?, and *. To resolve this issue, try renaming the file to remove any invalid characters. For example, you could use 幽靈-Dance1-Dance2.mov instead. Additionally, ensure that the directory path is correct and accessible, and that no other processes are locking the file.

    yipang Thank you for attaching the actual Spine project file! I downloaded it and tried exporting it as MOV, but I couldn't reproduce the problem.

    I tried it on a Mac PC, so as Spinebot pointed out, it's possible that the symbols in the animation name are not recognized correctly on Windows, preventing export. I'll try that later.

      After changing the name, it can be output normally. Thank you very much.

        yipang I'm glad to hear that changing the name solved the problem! Thanks for getting back to us. 🙂
