Hello, i found out what it was. Since I recorded my animation in several sequences, i inserted a frame with a red background between the scenes. I copied the previous one and added it to the end. When i opened the red background image frame, i noticed that the image filename at C:\Temp\ScreenToGif \Recording\2019-03-13 10-42-26 was very long. That probably caused the error. Unfortunately, i could not delete the frames because of the error. That's why i have exported my scenes individually and created a new project.

Thanks for ScreenToGif 👍

@NickeManarin : AFAIK, this can be closed because our project net framework's version is more than 4.6.2. And this cannot happen until the max length is more than int.MAXLENGTH. I don't think it possible :)

For more, please see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.pathtoolongexception?view=net-6.0
