Vision allows you to render the current scene and save it as a video file in .mpg format. To create a video, the scene must have an associated DMX file. Specify the movie render settings, and optionally save them as a preset. For more information on saving and managing the Render Movie presets, see Using saved sets.

If video screens or geometry are displaying video from a file or capture source within the scene, the video playback is not synchronized to the exported video.

To save the Scene window as a video file:

1.      Open the scene file to use for the video.

2.Select the command.

The Render Movie dialog box opens.

3.Select a set of movie render settings from the Settings Preset list, or select <Active Settings> to use the settings currently specified in the Vision Preferences dialog box.

4.Click Customize to specify the movie render settings.

The Vision Preferences dialog box opens, but only the Graphics tab is available. The top portion of the dialog box offers options for saving and managing presets. The Graphics tab displays the rendering parameters. Set the parameters as desired.

5.Do one of the following:

       To save the current settings as a preset, see Using saved sets.

       To use the current settings without saving them as a preset, click OK.

6.From the Render Movie dialog box, select the video Resolution.

7.Set the video Frame Rate.

8.Click the button next to the DMX Recording field, and select the DMX file to use for the video.

9.Set the DMX Start Time and the DMX End Time.

10.Click the button next to the Output Filename field, and set a name and location for the video file.
