[General] Paraview-animation

I am trying to save animation in ParaView. But it is not working. After saving the animation in avi format it looks like negative images.
Can anyone help me with this?

One thing I learned working with engineering and scientific software: never export directly to a video file. Instead, export .png images and use software like ffmpeg to create the video file from the image sequence. Not only will this give you more control over the animation (quality, playback speed, framerate, codecs...), but more importantly this approach is much less error-prone.
