Here you determine the Animation-Output format (AVI).

Codec

the codecs available are already checked on selection. Why? Some codecs do not register

correctly in the system. If the export process is then started, a system error appears that looks as

though Heroglyph could not export with this codec. The real reason, however, is usually an

insufficient system integration of the codec - or of course a different alignment to other media

(e.g. special media players, etc.). If error checking brings up results these will be shown in the

codec's info window (codec does not support format, etc.)

Important: as some codecs transmit a default error code in this checking the real cause for error

can not always be determined correctly. Even an incorrect data path can cause an export process

to fail. Therefore, please always check the export path's validity (especially if removable media,

RAM discs, etc. are used).

Important Note:

Raw format : ideal for uncompressed animation files (AV) for usage in studios without possible

plug-ins. Supports RGB-A (inclusive of alpha channel!)

Driver

•

The codecs registered in the system that allow data to be written are always offered for

export.

•

without applying the scaling option the format of animations is always equal to the format in

export/format

•

AVI animations cannot contain an alpha channel and are therefore not to be used, if in the

final usage the Keying per alpha channel is possible. The possibility of single frame sequence

export via TIFF or TGA 32 can be applied here.
