Camera follow and camera track issues
-
I have been trying for a couple of hours to make a video of a SP model.
It seems that though the camera, track and follow functions show in SU, the exported sequence does not follow or track.
Any ideas? -
I assume you are using SketchyPhysics' internal video capture feature, or are trying to use the 'export animation' function that is internal to SketchUp. I am not familiar with the SP video recorder, but I know that the SketchUp 'export animation' function won't work with a SketchyPhysics simulation. It's really designed to capture frames from scene-change animation sequences.
I have always used a separate screen video capture program to make video clips of SketchyPhysics simulations. The free program that I use is CamStudio, which does a good job. I generally have it set to capture an 800 x 600 frame, and then re-size SketchUp to fit its display within this frame. The 'uncompressed' codec, downloaded separately for CamStudio, does a good job of making a clear video, but you need to re-save a more conventionally compressed version in post-production, since your captured video file will be huge.

Hi Dan, I am using the sketchyphysics export, after recorded video, under plugins>skethyphysics, there two options, export, and clear.
I tried camstudio on the project and it turned out not good, usable but not good.
