settings bugs in Motion Study Cloud Rendering in Fusion 360

A couple of issues with Cloud Rendering a Motion Study in Fusion 360 (release 2.0.1774). Most of which have to do with persistence of settings.

 

When I change the name of my motion study in the Model view, the name of the motion study does not change in the Cloud Rendering settings.

The bigger problem is that I can't get the Motion Study Cloud Rendering button to appear (the little play button next to the Turn Table button in 'Render as'), unless I render a preview video out.

 

For example. If I click on a previous render, I do not see the Motion Study Cloud Rendering button:

But if I create a new video (what does that even mean, by the way? The end result is not a video).

Then when I click on the output of that (an image), I get the button. I have not seen what happens if I just create an image, rather than a video, but I expect it to be the same.

 

But now that I have the button, I can't really change settings. For example, if I wanted custom dimensions, I can make it a "custom" format, but there's no place to adjust what that actually means. Is there?

The other frustrating part is that the view doesn't change unless I create a fake/preview render first. In other words, if I continue to just hit the Motion Study Cloud Rendering button, while changing the view/moving the camera, nothing actually changes. It only changes view when I create another cloud render, and then it adopts those settings.

 

These are workarounds, for hopefully known issues. Is there a better way to do the things I'm doing?
