Help / Question Cannot render, the time lapse

I can't get the recording to render. I tried installing a newer version of FFmpeg, but that didn't help. Judging by the error message, it seems unable to locate the first frame, so I tried following advice from someone on YouTube. But I hit a snag: the animation render button is greyed out. I’m completely stuck because I can't find anyone else with this same problem.

Hi
It says there are no files with seven-digit names.
Can you show the recording folder content?

Thank you.
A few more things:
I need to gather as much information as possible to forward to the person responsible for the recorder's development.
Did you change the recording format at any point during the process?
Could you share the files with me? If that's not possible,
could you share the log output and verify that the image file extensions match their actual internal format (PowerShell, ExifTool)?
And a warning: If you render the video into the same folder as the captured frames, it will be deleted when cleaning up recordings from Krita's UI, because "Manage Recordings" / "Remove recordings" deletes the entire recording directory recursively, not just the snapshots. Videos should be saved to a separate folder.
