From this description it sounds like Animator exports the individual frames, but mp4 conversion fails. Is that correct? Are you sure you have the ffmpeg installed?

To verify, go to the `ScreenCapture` module, expand the **Advanced** options, and see if you have the ffmpeg executable pointing out to the right location. If not, you can I think you can [here](https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/). But I am not a mac user, so I am not certain.
