Exporting as .avi appears differently than original
-
Hello.
After exporting my animation as .avi, the resulting video plays back the animation differently than the original animation. I used the Proper Animation plugin to create the scenes. Notice how the YouTube video appears differently than the .skp animation.
How can I fix this issue? I just completed my first animation and am eager to post the correct video animation to YouTube.
I provided the current YouTube video and SketchUp file so you can see the difference in playback between the two.
Thank you.

I see no differences...
Shaker-style_ 2-step _stool[TIG].avi Can you elaborate please... Otherwise it's like a rubbish 'spot-the-different' competition.PS: Please edit your Forum 'User Profile' to include your OS, Version etc - it's useful to us, particularly when you are asking for help...

Hello TIG.
My .skp animation is designed to highlight each newly-added component in the assembly process with the color yellow. Once that component has been positioned in its respective place it should be turned to the wood color. That pattern is shown properly in the .skp animation but in my .avi file, the yellow-colored components seem to be out of sequence. I'm trying to get the video to exactly replicate the .skp animation.
How were you able to attach your .avi to this thread? When I tried doing that I received the following message: "Shaker-style, 2-step stool #3.avi => The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 4 MiB."
Thank you for responding to my topic.

I reduced the frame-rate until the AVI exported at under 4Mb... no magic
I couldn't see any appreciable difference

Although I saved the .skp with the plugin setting Start Scenes Observer to the on position, it seems that once I close it that setting automatically goes to the off position. Therefore, when I upload it, you have to set that plugin setting to on again to view the animation the way I intended it to be. I don't know why that happens.
I tried to export the .skp again, but the .avi file is not recognizing the plugin-generated scenes. For some reason the Start Scenes Observer function is being shut off when the .avi is being created. Please help me find a solution.
TIG, thank you for your patience.

Many of these finer points need to be taken up directly with the author of the plugin.
An 'observer' only persists for the duration of the SKP session.
Because i don't have that particular tool loading I get none of your 'extra-options' - whatever they are.
However, is my natively-made avi animation so different from what you want to end up with ?
You seem to be making this more complicated than it needs to be.
If you run a 'native-animation' via the scenes-manager's drop-down on the first scene-tab, that is what will be exported as a movie OR a series of images that you can assemble into a movie yourself... what is it you want ?? -
TIG, thank you for your assistance. I wish you were able to see how the .skp animation appeared so you could see how both of our .avi's are much different than it is. The yellow components should be appearing to be smoothly flying into the assembled position from outside the drawing area. The Proper Animation plugin provides the smooth motion feature when a component moves from one position to the next.
I will contact the author of the plugin.
Have a nice day!

At last I understand...
The yellow pieces are 'animated'.
Contact the tool's author... -
Hello TIG.
The author of the plug-in called Proper Animation instructs its users to process the animation created in SU through a rendering application in order to create a proper video of the animation frames. I think Proper Animation is a great tool.
Now, I am learning how to use Kerkythea so that I can create the animation .jpeg frames. Everything is going good except I ran into a problem getting the animation frames to reflect the master model (master scene) render settings. The animation frames appear differently than the master model for some of the settings. I posted a topic in Kerkythea's forum and am awaiting a response.
I just wanted to share my findings with you and this forum's readers. Thank you for your advice.
