Patchwork Explorer 2023 X6

Videos (Editor)

Access: Editors menu > Snapshot Video

The Video Editor exports a sequence of frames as a video file.

Starting from an initial observational point and a predefined animation scenario, the Video Editor calculates a frame for each stage of the camera’s animation path.

These various frames are assembled in a standard animation file using an AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format, or alternatively saved individually as a sequence of images as .jpg, .png, .bmp, .tif, .exr, .hdf, or .psd files.

Once the desired settings have been specified, the Render button launches the generation of the video file.

Tip

During rendering, a dialogue box is displayed to show the progression of the creation of the video file. The Viewer button at the bottom of this dialogue box opens a frame viewing window.

At any time, you can pause the progression by clicking the Pause button, or cancel it by clicking the Cancel button. If you have paused the rendering, start it again by clicking on Resume.
