Error creating animation: Error in .x[["expr"]][[i]]: subscript out of bounds

Hi Jakob

Hope you're keeping well,

I keep getting this error when using the animate_frames() function and I'm not sure what to do. Please help.

Rendering animation...
Number of frames: 1270 + 25 to add ≈ 1s of pause at the end
Approximated animation duration: ≈ 51.8s at 25 fps for 1295 frames
|===========================| 99% ~01m 18s
Error: Error creating animation: Error in .x[["expr"]][[i]]: subscript out of bounds
In addition: Warning message:
In dir.create(frames_dir, recursive = T) :

Hi Philip - I was wondering if you ever got this issue resolved? I am trying to update a MoveVis animation from 2 years ago and am also getting this error

Did anyone get this issue fixed, this started to appear for me all of a sudden. Thanks

I figured out a work around, which worked, but then I was having issues with the basemaps (only some tiles were showing up)

So for some reason the default out_file was not working, so I tried 2 things that worked for me (at least back in Oct 2023):

animate_frames(frames, out_file = tempfile(fileext = ".mov"))

animate_frames(frames, out_file = "/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/animations/temp/xxxx.mov")

hopefully this works for you! Let me know if you get any of the basemaps to work (and if so, which ones!)

Thank you! I did get the basemaps to work, I went to mapbox https://www.mapbox.com/ and registered for a token and used the following code and it worked for me!

frames <- frames_spatial(m, map_token= "tokengoeshere", map_service = "mapbox", map_type = "light", alpha = 0.5, path_legend = FALSE, trace_show = TRUE, trace_colour = "grey", tail_colour = "grey") %>%
add_labels(x = "Longitude", y = "Latitude") %>% # add some customization, such as axis labels
add_northarrow() %>%
add_scalebar() %>%
add_timestamps(type = "label") %>%
add_progress()

Thanks for sharing! That mostly worked for me - I'm just missing a couple basemap tiles (before I was missing most of the tiles)! Not sure how to get the last couple tiles loaded, but this should be fine for now. Thanks again!
