The video export didn't work, until...

Tl;dr ffmpeg was broken, and how I fixed it.

Musescore wouldn't export video scores, and it didn't matter how much I pointed it to the ffmpeg directory, it couldn't find it. (c:/ffmpeg/bin). As I have it, it's looking for a DLL that just doesn't exist anywhere in that folder. I tried editing the Window Environment variables, and nothing. Why didn't I just install it the way the handbook says? Windows wouldn't launch the msi file, it doesn't even open. I Googled, and found how to do it with a command line:

msiexec /i FFmpeg_8.1_for_MuseScore_Studio.msi /l*v output.txt /quiet

This copies the files to the right directory. When I opened Musescore Studio again, ffmpeg showed up and the video export worked. Sigh. Couldn't it just be included as a dependency in the 4.7 update?

Anyway, I found a video tutorial on how to make your videos even better with Davinci Resolve:

"4.7 can export your score as a video now!"

Okay, and I knew about that feature from YouTubers telling me about Beta... I don't really care about exporting videos at the moment. What I really want is a score to picture system that doesn't use a third party VLC plug-in. I'd also like the ability to put time stamps on the score/sketch.

How about that?
