Walkthrough Video Export Issue

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

You can see the attached walkthrough video hereby. Does anyone know why is looking like this? I am working on it days now, but I can't find a general solution.

looks like your computer may not be able to handle exporting the walkthru with highest settings...

check graphics card type/driver

try adjusting walkthru settings to not highest, but one or two levels down

send revit file to me so i can test on my system

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for sharing your walkthrough video with us.

To check:

• Can you click on the warning symbols (I see three of them) from 00:14 seconds.
• Also, do you have multiple cameras? Can you send a screenshot of your camera settings?
• What are the dimensions of the 3D view? 
• Did you export the .avi in an uncompressed format?

Recommendations to try:

• Please see HERE for Improving AVI video quality of walkthroughs
• Also see HERE to improve the appearance of a walkthrough that is choppy.
• See HERE for a similar post on video compressors for exporting walkthrough
• There is an open source video transcoder* which you try to compress the video
• You can try rendering high-quality single images (jpeg, tiff format)and then combine them to video format later using a windows movie maker.

I would be happy to take a look if you would like to post a sample file for troubleshooting. I can share a private folder if you'd like. 

Thank you and we look forward to your reply update.

For quality production I highly recommend using the last method suggested by @Viveka_CD, generating an image sequence rather than direct-to-video; however I'd suggest using a high-quality image format such as PNG or TIFF as JPG is "lossy".  This work process gives you more choices during editing, such as cutting out parts, switching them around, adding pauses, switching back and forth to other image sequences, and so on.  It also frees you to use whatever container and CODEC you want e.g. MPEG-4 with H.264 encoding provided it's supported by the video editor.

Please help, whenever I exported a walkthrough, it ended up looking like this.

it splits my screen into 4, then in the middle of the video, it is going back to it's original/normal form. It's kinda frustrating for it takes me hours to export this, just to find out it's not working properly.

Thank you.
