Exporting 3D models to the .mp4 file format

Export to MP4
File Click the browse button and select the directory into which you want to save the exported file.
 
Phases Settings that determine which phases of the 3D model will be included in the exported file. In First, select the starting phase; in Last the end phase.
 
Video Options General settings of the exported video
Presets / Size Sets the height and width of the exported video file. You can use presets (from the dropdown list) as follows:
Definition Aspect Ratio Size (px)
SD 480p 4:3 640 x 480
HD 720p 16:9 1280 x 720
Full HD 1080p 16:9 1920 x 1080
4K Ultra HD 2160p 1:1.9 3840 x 2160
8K Full Ultra HD 4320p 16:9 7680 x 4320
Custom Size n/a Use the Width and Height boxes to the right to set the size (in pixels) of the exported video file. Range: 16–7680.

IMPORTANT: To ensure that the exported animated 3D model fits in the exported frame, before exporting:

  1. Make sure the 3D viewing area has the aspect ratio in which you want to export.
  2. Play back the folding sequence to make sure that at no moment does any part of the 3D model leave the set viewing area. This is especially important if you have set viewpoints that involve moving the entire 3D model across the viewing area.

NOTE: Depending on your hardware, some of the high definition presets may be unavailable. What you see in the dropdown list are the definitions that your system supports.
Frame rate The number of frames per second. The default is 30. If needed, a custom rate can be in the range 1–240.
Bitrate Set a bitrate. The higher the bitrate value, the better the video quality (sharpness and clarity) and the larger the video file size.
Delay start by After the video starts, the first frame stays still for the amount of time you set here.
Delay end by After the video ends, the last frame stays still for the amount of time you set here.
 
Background Use a background on which the 3D model will appear in the video.
Solid Color Sets a color for the background.

NOTE: If you have loaded an environment — in Environment in the Scene Lighting area the 3D model's view options — it will be reflected on the 3D model's surfaces.
Image Sets an image that will serve as background. Select an image from the dropdown list, or use the browse button to load your own image.

NOTE: All images you load are automatically copied to the following directory: C:/ProgramData/EngView/Package Designer\SharedSettings\MaterialResources\EnvImages\BackDrop If you want to remove an image from the dropdown list, navigate to the directory and delete the file there.
Environment Choosing this setting applies as background the environment loaded in Environment in the Scene Lighting area of the 3D model's view options.
 
Export measure lines Select to tell EngView to export the measure lines added to the 3D model.

IMPORTANT: When the check box is selected, the measure lines are exported regardless if you have elected to hide them in the 3D model area.
View file after generation Select if you want the exported file to play automatically after it has been generated.
