How to create video animation of motion link ?

[st85611]

I have created some type of planetary gear gearbox. Joints and motion links are working fine and I am familliar with motion study function. But what if I want to create an animation of gears movement in good quality in different views and exploded view after demonstration of working principle?

That's not something that can be done currently in Fusion 360, as the Joints and their motions are not detected in the Animation workspace, so if you're going to rotate the camera to show different views, you'll have to recreate these joints motions inside of the animation timeline, and that's really how other softwares that are stronger than Fusion in animations work as well, such as Blender.

You can create a high-quality animation of your gear motion by using SOLIDWORKS Motion Study + Animation options, then export it with PhotoView 360 or Visualize for better rendering.
Record the gear movement first, then switch to different camera views or create an exploded view timeline.
Add appearances, lighting, and cameras for a professional look.
Finally, render the motion study as a video (Visualize gives the highest quality).
