Hello, I've downloaded the trial version of SketchFX & it looks great plus from it's own interface I can export a video using the classic sketchup scenes..
The glitch for me is that when I set up an animation using your fabulous Animator, from there I cannot get it to export a video correctly rendered by SkFX... & yet an unrendered video is possible from Animator ?
BTW I have checked, I have the latest versions of Animator & the ffmpeg.exe
Is this because I have the demo version of SkFX, or what might be going on here please ?
Very frustrating as both Animator & SkFX are great, but I really would like for them to work together as I thought that i was possible...

Thanks in advance,
PT

yes, that's what I downloaded, the demo version of SketchFX EX & it's that the doesn't seem to be compatible with animator... the real bummer is I can't seem to send a message to the people that do that software... some kind of javascript error on their "contact" page

apologies for not being clearer, that's what I was getting at; if you use SketchFX, if you want some kind of animation with their rendering, you'll need to use their ecosystem of tools for rendering animations

having said that, they do not have a tool comparable to Animator

take a look a their forums, maybe try getting some answers there?

Enscape does not yet have an option for object animation, once they do Animator is top of the list for integration. This has been on the list for at least 3 years and so far Enscape have dragged their feet, so don't hold your breath.

Can I save each frame as a scene in Sketchup ?
How to take each frame seperately to actually create scenes from them ?

This is not possible with the current version of Animator.
Anyway, it would create potentially hundreds of scenes.
