Video Recorder Bug Using Shared Sequence

dipto6D54P — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 14:03:14 GMT

Hi,

I am new to recording videos in FlexSim. I am using shared sequence to create this video using defined flypath for different sequences.

Background:

This is a warehouse model. Logic was written in a way such that only a specific type of material can be stored in a particular rack. Each type is color coded for easier visualization and validation of the logic.
Upon validation, the model works fine with its logic as intended.

Now, I am creating a video with 3 different sequences on the same output file at a different timeline. First 2 sequences considers the start time similar to model start time. However, the 3rd sequence starts after week 5 (T= 3025800 to 3025880) = 80s for its defined flypath. The final render shows the whole logic seems to get corrupted and shows a reality which is not simulation reality at all (meaning without recorder on, the logic works fine)

Attachment:

I am attaching -
1. Recording using snip tool.
2. Recording using FlexSim Video Recorder.
3. My Video recorder settings for FlexSim.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, this answer here is not what you requested. Can you capture the video output to your display and process it on a different computer? If you let run a model a long time the internal resources are optimized for a state without an additional task that records a video output. At the moment you let start such a task the system shifts task priorities.

Hi Joerg,

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure if I followed your response ("Can you capture the video output to your display and process it on a different computer?") correctly.

Meanwhile, I have tried one additional experiment, I tried to extract one single sequence as output at T= 3024000, and it works fine as the logic intends to. The error is repeated when I want to extract the video using shared sequence start and end time defined on a different timeline. What I attempted to do is avoiding extraction of different sequences 1 by 1 rather defining all the sequences at once, use shared sequences and get a merged file.
