Description
Original issue was made by @TLINDEN in charmbracelet/freeze#168 and it was moved to VHS.
Describe the bug
I have made a rather long tape file which worked fine up to a certain point. But I am unable to find the section of the file which causes the issue. If I comment out all sections, only let one section uncommented and then execute vhs, then it works every time. However, if all sections are enabled, then it fails. So I think the tape file has no errors.
When the issue happens, an empty gif will be created and ffmeg shows an error message.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Clone https://github.com/tlinden/anydb/
git checkout feature/vhs-demogo buildcd demomake(this actually executesvhs)
Expected behavior
A gif should have been created.

Commentary
Ok, I have extracted the precise ffmpeg commandline executed by vhs:

[plt_b][plt]paletteuse[palette]" -map "[palette]" demo.gifI also saved the dir /tmp/vhs3763011057/ containing the png frame images away. Then I run the ffmpeg command myself which leads to the same error as above.
I also looked if the provided frame and cursor images matched - they did, that is, no image was missing. There were 14514 text and 14514 cursor frames.
