The other problem is I suspect that Ubuntu does not actually fix bugs. They just act as a pass-through for Debian and apply patches from Debian. This causes a problem since Debian is unlikely to accept direct bug reports pertaining to Ubuntu, but Debian is doing all the work. Maintaining ImageMagick for Debian is a huge amount of work. > So I can see that Memory and Disk are now far more constrained than when on Xubuntu 16.04.

Further suggestions please. A problem with ImageMagick is that you need to find the documentation which pertains to your exact version since ImageMagick is always in flux. Debian/Ubuntu are providing ImageMagick 6 which is considered to be "legacy" and has its own web site (although since ImageMagick is always in flux the web site might not match the software). I am the developer/maintainer of the competing GraphicsMagick software, which I would immediately suggest except that it does not directly write MP4 files. You would need to find a way to convert from a format that GraphicsMagick writes to MP4 (e.g. ffmpeg). Both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick are very poor at dealing with large video/animation streams because they buffer the data up before writing anything. I see that this discovers the files which are actually searched for and used: MAGICK_DEBUG=configure convert -list resource On my own system I recall editing the Ubuntu default policy.xml file directly since it was hindering my ability to reasonably compare ImageMagick with GraphicsMagick. Feel free to try installing the 'graphicsmagick' package and see if it works any better for your needs. Unfortunately, I see that the provided GraphicsMagick dates from February, 2020 so it is a bit old.
