The videos that you create in Twinmotion can be exported locally to your computer. You can export entire videos or certain video parts only. Before exporting them, you can adjust various export settings.
Videos can also be embedded into Local or Cloud Presentations. For more information, see Sharing and Collaborating.
The export settings for videos also apply to sequences. For more information about sequences, see the Sequences documentation.
Global and Individual Export Settings
Some of the settings you choose for exporting videos are global and applied to all videos, but you can also choose individual export settings for each video.
Global Export Settings
To access global export settings, click Video in the Export panel.
The following table describes the global export settings for videos.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Format | Sets the file format of exported videos. By default, videos are saved in the MP4 format. MP4
For video post-production or editing purposes, you can also save videos in the PNG or EXR format. PNG
EXR
Options: MP4, PNG, EXR |
Framerate | Sets the frame rate value in frames per second (fps). The frame rate defines the number of frames—or images—that are used per second to export and create a video or video part. Higher frame rates produce smoother results, and lower frame rates can result in a choppy video playback. Setting a frame rate of 120 fps can be useful if you want to create slow motion effects in post-production. By default, the frame rate is set to 30 fps. Options: 25 fps, 30 fps, 60 fps, 120 fps |
Custom framerate | Use this slider to set a custom frame rate value in frames per second (fps). Options: 1 to 120 fps Limitation: If you export a video at a low frame rate, the quality of the Motion blur effect may be reduced; when low frame rates are used, Twinmotion has less data to correctly calculate the velocity of motion. |
Video part | Select this option to open a window where you can select the parts you want to export. Videos and sequences can contain one or more parts.
|
Motion blur | Enables or disables Motion blur on exported videos. When enabled, motion blur is visible on animated objects, characters and vehicles. By default, this setting is disabled. Options: On, Off |
Render layers | Shows the render layers you can select to export. A blue check mark on the render layer button indicates the render layer is selected. For more information about render layers, see the Render Layers documentation. |
Video mode | Sets the mode of exported videos or parts. Videos in Standard and 3D mode can be exported using a 2K Full HD, 4K UHD, 8K, 16K, or Custom resolution. Videos in 360 and Video 360 3D mode can be exported using a 2K, 4K, or 8K resolution. By default, the mode of exported videos is Standard. Options: Standard, 3D, 360, Video 360 3D |
Refinement | Enables or disables Refinement on exported videos, and sets the refinement quality. When Refinement is disabled, the only area of the scene that is used to create reflections is the area that is visible in the Viewport. When Refinement is enabled, the range of the area that affects reflections is increased beyond the Viewport, which can result in more realistic looking reflections. The higher the quality of the refinement setting, the larger the area of the scene that will be used. By default, this setting is disabled. Options: Off, Low, Medium, High |
360 Resol. | Sets the resolution of videos exported in 360 and 360 3D mode. A higher value increases the size of videos and increases the time that it takes to export them. By default, the resolution is set to 4K. Options: 2K (2048 x 1024), 4K (4096 x 2048), 8K (8102 x 4096) |
Individual Export Settings
To access the individual export settings, click the video in the Media dock. A tab named Video that contains the settings is added to the Ambience panel.
The following table describes the individual export settings for videos.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Output size | Sets the output size (resolution) and aspect ratio of videos exported in Standard and 3D mode. If Filmback is enabled in the Ambience panel (Camera > Filmback), the aspect ratio of videos is defined by the filmback preset you select. You can change the width but the height option is disabled to ensure that it remains proportional to the width and respects the aspect ratio. For more information about the Filmback option, see Filmback in Ambience Settings. By default, the output size is set to 2K. Options: 2K Full HD 1920 x 1080, 4K UHD 3840 x 2160, Custom |
Tiled rendering | When Tiled rendering is enabled, you can export and render videos at very high resolutions without being restricted by the memory limits of your computer’s Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). When this option is enabled, videos can be exported at a maximum custom resolution of 64K (up to 61440 x 61440 pixels). If the custom output size of a video is set to a resolution higher than 8K (7680 × 4320), we recommend enabling this option to avoid GPU memory limits. Export times can increase when enabling this option. Limitations: Enabling Tiled rendering can affect the quality of the following visual settings in rendered videos: Screen Space Reflections (SSR), Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), Global Illumination (GI), Lens flare, Depth of Field (DoF), and Bloom. Options: On, Off |
View set | Applies a View set to the video. |
Phasing group | Use this setting to apply a phasing group to a video. For more information about phasing groups, see Phasing and View sets. |
