    We have always had this function (if you compiled it yourself).  It spams PPM screenshots into the local directory filling up diskspace like nothing else.  Prepare to have a few second animation be many gigabytes.

    Many programs (GIMP) can turn PPM(or any other format) into animations pretty easily.

    The best way of turning the PPM files that Powder Toy creates into videos would be to use a tool called ffmpeg.
    ffmpeg -r 48 -b:v 1800 -i "frame_%06d.ppm" "film.mp4"

    Where:
    film.mp4 is the output file
    frame_%06d.ppm is the input file (%06d tells ffmpeg to match all files with the name frame_000000.ppm to frame_999999.ppm)
    48 is the frame rate, I recommend 48, but anywhere from 24 to 60 should be good.
    1800 is the bitrate, making this higher will improve quality but increase file size.

    Why do we even need to film the powder toy?
