Setting Filenames for Export
If you use a file extension when naming the file, Fusion will set the output format accordingly.
For example, naming your file image_name.exr will set the Inspector to output an EXR file or
naming a file image_name.mov will set the Inspector for an H264 QuickTime movie. If you
decide to change or modify the setting of the file type, the Saver’s format tab in the Inspector
contains the specific parameters for the selected format.
The Saver’s Format tab with controls for QuickTime.
If you decide to output an image sequence, a four-digit frame number is automatically added
before the filename extension. For example, naming your file image_name.exr results in files
named image_name0000.exr, image_name0001.exr, and so on. You can specify the frame
padding by adding several zeroes to indicate the number of digits. For example, entering a
filename as image_name_000.exr results in a sequence of images with the names Image_
name_000.exr, Image_name_001.exr, Image_name_002.exr, and so on.
NOTE: The starting frame number always uses the Time Ruler start frame number.
