Hi

I am using, for me, a new version of Processing (4.1.3). I have produced a number of image files:  
1.png, 2.png… 250.png and have the saved in a special frame folder.  
When I am running the movie maker it does not end with the last picture. It rather scrambles the files.  
Should I rename the files or what can I do.  
When I am using a commercial program (with watermarks) it gives a correct result.

Best regards  
K.

Hello @Kylie,

Try sequential numbers that are the _same length padded with zeroes_ in front of the number.

0001  
0002  
…  
0020  
0021  
…  
0200  
0201  
…  
2000  
2001  
…  
9999

Processing can do this when saving frames:  
[https://processing.org/reference/saveFrame\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/saveFrame_.html)

You may need a utility program to rename them if they are generated outside of a Processing sketch.

Hi  
Thanks! - It worked. I created a special function, where Hit is the saved frame counter.

```auto
void SaveToFile(int Hit){
  if (Hit<10){saveFrame("/frame/Path-000"+str(Hit)+".png");}
  if (Hit>=10&&Hit<100){saveFrame("/frame/Path-00"+str(Hit)+".png");}
  if (Hit>=100&&Hit<1000){saveFrame("/frame/Path-0"+str(Hit)+".png");}
  if (Hit>=1000&&Hit<10000){saveFrame("/frame/Path-"+str(Hit)+".png");}
}

```

Or even easier :

```auto
void SaveToFile(int Hit){
saveFrame("/frame/Path-"+nf(Hit, 5)+".png");
}

```
