Exporting a Video (New for 5.5)

The export video area is split into 5 sections: Format, Output Size, 3D Stereo Vision, Render Quality and Output Range. For related 3D Stereo Vision information, please refer to the Creating a 3D Stereo Project section.

Operating System and Export Format

Operating System and Export Format
According to your operating system, iClone provide different video formats for you to export the current project.

	64-bits	32-bits
Windows XP Vista	AVI	AVI, WMV, MP4, FLV, popVideo
Windows 7 Windows 8	AVI, (64-bit) WMV, and (64-bit) MP4 (New in version 5.5)	AVI, WMV, MP4 (*), FLV, popVideo

The Benefits of Using 64-bit WMV and MP4

• iClone can now officially support 64-bit version, which allows users to work with larger projects, containing more characters, scenes, or texture effects.
• Better quality with smaller file size - Instead of exporting AVI RAW video for best quality but large file size, you are now able to export videos in WMV or MP4 64-bit format with high quality (resolution up to 1920*1080) but small file size.

  AVI RAW File Size = 55.9 MB	(32-bit) WMV File Size = 3.41 MB	(64-bit) WMV File Size = 2.12 MB

Format

1. Use the drop down list to choose AVI, RM, WMV, MP4 or Flash Movie format.
2. Click the Advance button to display advanced options. Advanced options are only available when you select MP4 for PC format or Flash Video.

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 spinner arrows.

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.

Note: The HD media files of the AVI format can be selected in the Standard Size drop-down list. The flexibility of the output size depends on the video format you choose. WMV and MP4 have specific restriction on output size defined by the profiles.

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 button to export the video.
