Quick time movie file trouble

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 12:13:20 GMT

If I choose set in "Create fly through", the computer is shut down?
Do you know the reason?
Something to do with Quick Time?

IT could be any number of reasons.

It's usually a better idea to render to a series of frames (tifs, jpgs, etc), then assemble them into a movie. If you crash, you can pick up where you left off.

First to avoid crashing I have uninstalled Quic Time and reinstall from original CD from Graphisoft.
I think AC has trouble with any update version from Quick Time.
Your suggestion rendering to a series I couldnt follow.

When you create the Walk-Through, one of the format options is JPG (instead of MOV), That saves each frame to a JPG file in a folder you designate.

If the walk-through crashes, you still have all the frames that Archicad made before it crashed. You can also use this method to imitate a render farm by setting each one of several machines to render a range of frames in the walk-through.

Sorry hard to understand...
It works also for animation?
Do you mean the surface of material in OpenGL modus?

I also do this to make animations but with Artlantis. You will need a movie
editor program (I use Quicktime Pro) to import the images into a sequence.
I like it this way b/c I can even set my frame rate to speed or slow down the animation as a whole or just in different sections.

Hope this helps?
