Generating .avi or .mpg animations from Qt? (from sequence of QImages or QPixmaps)
-
We are generating on-screen animations in Qt 4.8.6 widgets on Windows (just redrawing, based on a repeating QTimer). Does Qt4 or Qt5 proper support (or will Qt5 soon support) generation of .mpg / .mpeg (MPEG) or .avi files for generated animations? I'm imagining that this would be done by providing a sequence of QImages or QPixmaps having consistent dimensions, perhaps with a specified frame rate. Short of that, are there any well supported third-party Qt packages for doing this?
Thanks in advance,

Take a look on "Camera Example":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtmultimediawidgets-camera-example.html
Is it what you are looking for ? -
Thank you andrey. Re: The QtMultimediaWidgets 5.3 Camera Example. Maybe.
But I don't see (a) any application-level API or Qt API in there which receives a QImage from the application, OR (b) virtual methods which are provided a QPainter to draw in (called asynchronously). Or something.
What am I missing? WHERE DO I get my sequence of QImages (or QPixmaps) to a place in that code which generates movie files (MPEG or something)?
