So I ran a small animation (my first!  grin) the other day, and it worked seamlessly! Encouraged by this progress, I compiled 49 key frames and decided to try a full animation. The program started rendering, and I didn't think much of it as I went to bed to let it render overnight. However, when I checked very excitedly this morning, I was surprised to only find one image in the destination folder! I stopped the animation, and it was true: there was only one image saved (even though almost 1,000 frames had supposedly been processed)!

The worst part of this is that I can't fix the problem. That is, the animator will either
     A) render and render and render, displaying progress as usual, but only save one image (the last frame it had processed)
     B) render one image, then speed through about a thousand images a minute on the counter, well past the total frame number, while still only saving one image (the first)

The naming formatting appears different than my first example as well. I've tried rebooting, closing Mandelbulb, and even doing a completely new animation fails. (I'm importing from 3D Navi using the F key, animating with the standard settings, and using an output folder I chose through the program...I have no idea if any of these are to blame.) I love this program, and the animation is amazing. I really like my current .m3a, so I really want some help.  undecided Thanks guys and gals.

EDIT: Changing version of Mandelbulb from 1.7.9 to 1.8.9 did not change the problem.

Just started having the same problem. Only the current frame is rendering & saving. The zbuffer files are saving alright.
Tried changing the initial animation export directory but doesn't work. Tried it in another pc but same result.

Previous projects are working fine. Seems like maybe there's something wrong with the settings.

I've gotten it to work now, though I'm unsure how. My only guess is that I changed the output folder to a subsidiary of the actual Mandelbulb source folder. In other words, instead of outputting to another folder under My Pictures, I'm now just exporting them to a folder contained within my Mandelbulb v1.8.9 folder. I'll just move them in...around 50 hours.  tongue stuck out
