Windows AVI. Exports animation as a commonly readable AVI file. Use
the Options button to select the video compressor from the drop-down
list, and adjust the output settings.
NOTE If a video compressor is not available on your computer, the Configure
button may be unavailable.
Windows Bitmap. Exports a sequence of static images, which are taken
from individual frames in the animation. There are no Options for this
format.
Options Enables you to configure the options for the selected output format.
Size
Type Use the drop-down list to specify how to set the size of the exported
animation.
TIP For animations, a much lower resolution can be used than for static images,
for example, 640x480.
Choose from:
Explicit. Gives you full control of the width and height (the dimensions
are in pixels).
Use Aspect Ratio. Enables you to specify the height. The width is
automatically calculated from the aspect ratio of your current view.
Use View. Uses the width and height of your current view.
Width Enables you to enter the width in pixels, when available.
Height Enables you to enter the height in pixels, when available.
NOTE There is a maximum size of 2048 x 2048 pixels, for Autodesk Navisworks
OpenGL output.
Options
FPS Specifies the number of frames per second; this setting is relevant for AVI
files.
NOTE The higher the FPS, the smoother the animation will be. However, using
a high FPS will considerably increase the rendering time. It is, usually, acceptable
to use between 10 to 15 FPS.
