Recording the 3D view as a video
The visualizer can record the 3D view as a video. That way you can show a couple or an event planner in advance how the light show will look.
Step by step
- Set the camera and haze the way the video should look.
- Start the show: play it in SoundSwitch (source “SoundSwitch”) or run the preview in the designer (source “Designer”).
- Click “Record the 3D view”. “■ Stop” now appears at the top with the running time.
- Click “■ Stop”. The browser downloads the video right away.
