both the Setup and the Output dialogs, or click Cancel to return to the Output
dialog.
Cancel Cancels the selection and closes the dialog.
Devices Lets you choose the hardware output device, for example, a digital
video recorder. To use this function, the device, its driver, and its 3ds Max
plug-in must all be installed on your system.
Setup Displays controls for the selected file type. These vary with each
different file format.
NOTE The Setup button is available only after you click Save, which opens the
setup dialog, and then cancel from the setup dialog. Also, 3ds Max always uses
the Save As Type setting, even if it doesn't agree with the filename extension.
Info Displays expanded information about the file such as frame rate,
compression quality, file size, and resolution. The information here depends
on the type of information saved with the file type.
View Displays the file at its actual resolution. If the file is a movie, the Media
Player is opened so the file can be played.
Gamma group
To set up gamma options for the output file, Enable Gamma Correction must
be on in the
Gamma panel on page 7550 of the Preferences dialog (Customize
> Preferences > Gamma). Otherwise, the Gamma controls are unavailable in
the Render Output File dialog.
■ Use Image’s Own Gamma This option is not available in this dialog.
■ Use System Default Gamma Uses the system default gamma, as set on
the
Gamma panel of the Preferences dialog on page 7550 .
■ Override Defines a new gamma for the bitmap that differs from the
system default.
Using Override is not recommended for element bitmaps. Using the system
default gamma value ensures that all elements have consistent renderings.
Sequence This is not available in the Render Element Output File dialog.
NOTE To render a sequence of still images, choose the Active Time Segment or
define a range of frames in the Common Parameters rollout of the Render Scene
dialog. If you have selected a still image file type, each frame will append a
four-digit number to the name you have selected, incremented with each frame.
