      Yes, that is an option. I am not on my laptop right now so I can generate a screenshot.

      You can add Twiligt Render to the section where you generate the video.

      Again, sorry I cannot give you a screenshot.

      hellow, sorry I don´t know how add twilight to the section where i generate the video. the option is not present. only can see Natural and Vray in SU 2017, in SU 2023 don´t install vray, only twiligt.

        Did you install Twilight in your Sketchup environment?

          yes, in SU 2017 I installed twiligh and vray but any can´t see in the video editor of animator.

          In SU 2023 only installed twiligh, but it also dosen´t work.

          are there any option to choose the renders motor that we want? setting the motor route manually?

          thanks, your work is the best

            If you installed Twilight and it is a compatible version, it should automatically appear in the list of Rendering software in Animator.

            Can you run Twilight in Sketchup (independently of Animator)?

            Can you give me the version of Twilight.

              Hi All,

              Ref: macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)

              After Mac (Studio) update along with macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 I can’t seem to get FFmpeg to load, to create videos within Animator. Would rather record inside SU than using screen record etc. Would appreciate any help/ideas? > Love this pLugin.

              Many Thanks,

              Jerry

                  There may be a new version of FFmpeg compatible with Sonoma, as this upgrade of MacOS is causing several problems in many software, including Sketchup. Did you download and install a recent version, marked compatible?

                  I'll check on my side when I have time, although I did not upgrade to Sonoma.

                    I think I downloaded the latest version not 100% certain and not sure if it was Sonoma friendly? Doing several presentations (using Animator) at the moment and getting by with Screen Recording - so no rush. Many thanks!

                      Is there a way to save the frames as jpg instead of png? I am rendering using vray, and saving as png does not save the background information. I am hoping the animation could show the background so I can show how the exterior looks thru windows.

                                Is it possible to add the free version of Twilight Render to the list of rendering software? this would be incredible

                                The more I use it, the more I think this software is the best in sketchup.
                                Thanks fredo

                                  Since Twilight Render is going away it would also be neat if you could add Rayscaper to the list.

                                    I have to investigate if Rayscaper offers an API....

                                        @fredo6 I think @pixelcruncher is going to contact you. I have suggested it to him and I saw a response in another thread where he said he was going to contact you. 👍

                                          Hi, I am using animator on SU2024, for a landscape project, and I have made several films each of which contains clips of about 8 to 15 seconds.
                                          The issue I am having is, that I am not able to render frames or video clips of all the films in one go overnight.
                                          Every film has to be given separate command to render.
                                          So am I missing something or this function of rendering all films in one go is not there at all?

                                            So as a temporary remedy, I started up 3 instances of SketchUp with the same file loaded and rendered different clips at the same time to save time.
                                            I hope @fredo6 comes up with a solution for this.
