Wick Is Pain Ffmpeg [updated] May 2026

Send help. Or a pre-written FFMpeg script that just works.

ffmpeg -i wick_export.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "fps=30,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -c:a aac -async 1 fixed_video.mp4 And even then, half the time the alpha channel from Wick is gone. wick is pain ffmpeg

I love Wick for quick frame-by-frame stuff, but every single export becomes a battle with FFMpeg. Am I missing some secret export setting, or is this just the cross we bear for using a free tool? Send help

#WickEditor #FFMpeg #VideoPain #AnimationStruggles I love Wick for quick frame-by-frame stuff, but

I just spent 4 hours debugging why my perfectly fine video export from Wick Editor was showing up as a garbled mess in my final render. Spoiler: it's always FFMpeg.

Wick exports PNG sequences or MP4s with weird codec flags. Then FFMpeg throws cryptic errors like "pixel format not supported" or "non-monotonic DTS" and you want to scream.

Wick is pain (FFMpeg rant inside)
