Hi Processing community!

I am attempting to create an animation with Processing’s Movie Maker II. I am able to create the “output” folder of still images, but once I drag the “output” folder with image files into the Movie Maker field and select “30” Framerate, and “MPEG-4” compression, as well as “Same size as originals,” and then “Create movie” the file is no where to be found. What am I doing wrong? I am receiving the following error:
