Animaze Desktop: How can I use the Animaze Video Exporter?

The Animaze Video Exporter includes a two-step process that allows you to record your avatar’s motion-capture performance in Animaze and then export it to the resolution and framerate of your choice. Here’s how you can use it to get better videos:

First of all, open the Animaze app and click the three-dot button menu next to the Enable Virtual Camera button > Click Screen Capture & Record.

The options in the Animaze Video Exporter are:

Quick Scene: lets you choose between your saved Quick Scenes (pre-saved avatars and backgrounds)

Encoder Type: export the video as .mpeg or .mp4 (.mp4 is available only for Plus and VIP subscribers)

Resolution: This lets you choose the resolution of your exported video

Framerate: lets you select the framerate of your exported video

Frame Blending: Frame Blending repeats frames, but it also blends between them as needed to help smooth the motion.

Frame by Frame toggle: processes the mocap data on a frame by frame basis, resulting in a smoother video. However, it takes longer for the video to be processed.

Visemes track time offset: lets you change the delay between the sound and the avatar’s mouth movement.

Set up how you want to export the mocap data as video and click Export

PRO TIP: You can change the avatar and background and use the same saved mocap data to export a new video without re-recording with a different avatar and background!
