Sequencer's OpenGL render crashes with Grease Pencil I am trying to render a sequence in the sequencer.

I want to add a scene strip and render an openGL animation (with the grease pencil), hence I have grease pencil strokes in the 3D view.

Pressing the sequencer openGL render button crashes Blender. (This doesn't happen when I remove all grease pencil items.)

Tested in 2.78c and 2.77.

(How) can I use the sequencer's openGL render with grease pencil animation?

(Bug or Feature-ish?)



I have found this bugtracker post, it mentions a similiar (?) bug was already resolved.
While the bug report you show has been resolved, it hasn't been included in a blender release. You will need a recent daily build (after nov 2016) or build your own from source to get that bug fix.

Note that the bug fix won't help, the solution to stop crashing was to disable grease pencil display in the VSE preview renders. I expect your solution will be to do an OpenGL render from the 3dview and then add the files to the VSE.
