Hi,

I attached you  the error,  I'm not able to read this line, should be
something wrong on it:

 cmd="convert -trim "animate"+sprinti("%03i",it)+".png"
"animate"+sprinti("%03i",it)+".png"

 The print command didn't work, cause the error is in the line before.


 Someone see something wrong? I'll continue searching for something.

Thank you very much.
All the best,
Sebastián.
