Exporting an iWidget

iWidget is a Flash-based video file with Transparent background that users may use to publish iClone content on the web. The exported file may be edited in WidgetCast. For more information about WidgetCast, please refer to https://www.reallusion.com/widgetcast/help/.

In the Format section, select the WidgetCast .iWidget format from the drop-down list.

The export iWidget area is split into 4 sections: Quality Settings, Output Size, Render Quality, and Output Range.

Quality Settings

Use the sliders to define the Video and Audio quality.

Output size

You can define the size of the exported image in the Output Size field. To define output size:

Select either a Standard Size or define a Custom Size using the arrow icons.

Please note that if you activate the Lock Ratio box, you can only adjust the width of the project while the height is updated automatically in current ration.

Render quality

The render quality can be set to Preview or Final Render using the radio buttons. Check the Anti-Aliased checkbox to export an anti-aliased image. An anti-aliased output will produce an image with less jagged edges and pixelated areas. You may also enable the Render Hidden Objects option in case some objects were hidden during the editing process.

Output range

You can either export the entire video, or a specific range of frames. Select the output range using the radio buttons in the Output Range field. You can also set the Frame Rate here using the slider. The output range can also be set using the 2 triangle markers below the play bar.

Click the Export File button to export the iWidget file.

You may also click the Launch iWidget button to export the .iWidget file and open it with WidgetCast.

Note:

Through iWidget files, users can export transparent flash videos from iClone and publish them to the web. To make a transparent iWidget output, please go to Stage/2D Background/Modify page, uncheck the Active box and select a Grey Color as the background color. The Grey color gives the transparent iWidget a neutral edge blending result when overlaying it on a different colored background in WidgetCast.
