ici_1033 Work with the mode of video recording starts from customization of parameters in the dialog «Motion recording by 3D-model» (button Recording by trajectory). Recording a video-file is carried out by the specified trajectory of movement on the active model saved in a file with "TRA" extension. In a trajectory file also other settings of the model are saved. There is an opportunity to choose any file of a trajectory for active data or to create new one (New button).

Order of creating a file of trajectory:

- click the New button, select the name of the trajectory and click the Save button;

- perform a movement along 3D- model in the desired direction;

- finish a trajectory creation by pressing the button Escape or Enter.

Preview button is intended for preview of movement on the chosen portion of a trajectory taking into account the chosen speed of movement.

By means of Speed element you can set speed of movement on a trajectory in the relation to initial speed (from 10 % up to 100 %).

By means of the Slider element it is possible to see movement on a current trajectory of movement and to choose all or a part of a trajectory for video.  The beginning and the end of video-recording can be set by means of the pop-up menu above the Slider element.

Darkening property enables effects of smooth occurrence of the first frames and smooth attenuation of last frames of video.

After selecting the starting and final point of recording it is possible to start directly the creation of the video file. To do this, press the button to select the name of AVI- file (you can use the automatically generated file name). Then it is necessary to choose the appropriate package of video-recording compression (for example: Microsoft Windows Media Video 9) and after this the video-file creation is carried out. The recording can be interrupted by pressing the buttons Escape, Enter or ici_1033 .
