Video Creation

Does anyone know if it's possible to create sequential tifs or pngs instead of a fully processed video file type?

There isn't native capability to do this, but it can be done easily using third party software. This one is free, and allows extraction of still images from the video. http://paul.glagla.free.fr/imagegrab_en.htm

Once installed, you can select the time interval you'd like the images to be extracted. These should be saved sequentially.

Jason,

Thanks fro the prompt reply! I'll get it downloaded and give it a try.

@P1per, make sure you first export out Uncompressed Video to get the highest quality afterwards.

Here a nice example for you to check out I did some time ago using first uncompressed video:

Hi @John_DeLeeuw,

I'm trying to create a video in Infraworks 360 2017 using Storyboard but I can’t get conceptual quality, only engineering view. How do you got it?

Did you make your animation using 3dsMax animated objects?

Thanks,

What ever the style of view you're looking at in the model is the level of quality you will get in the video.

So change your model view to the highest level, your video will then be at high quality.

I guess the problem was the desktop memory, because when I changed to another desktop (more powerful) the video quality increased even with the same exporting settings.

FYI.....My PC Spec........

Thanks @P1per,

Maybe that was the problem.

The previous desktop has:

Processor	Intel i7‐ 4770@ 3.4GHz
Memory	8 GB
System type	64‐bit Operating System
Graphic Card	NVidia GeForce - GT 630
Hard Drive	500GB

And the actual desktop has:

Processor	Intel i7‐ 4770@ 3.4GHz
Memory	8 GB
System type	64‐bit Operating System
Graphic Card	NVidia GeForce - GTX 760
Hard Drive	500GB
SSD Drive	240 GB

Not required, but I'd assume that throwing an extra 8gb of RAM in your system would help as well.

Thanks,

Nice Video, What did you use to create the 4d simulation? in Infraworks? or did you export the video and stitch another video into the other video?
