Ricky Jordan's Blog: SolidWorks and Animations

  • Josh · 1 year ago
    hey Ricky, very nice. I would alway use the highest quality uncompressed. Some of the video share sites, like Vimeo and Smugmug support HD, plus you can protect who sees it. so you could very easily set up a customer site for animations.

    I had a lot of trouble with the gravity setting. have you tried the other features as well?

    Hi Ricky, thanks for the tips. I am having problems producing a quality animation, here is what I have so far:

    http://www.lightmypump.com/book_shelf-assy1.avi

    it's my first one and it looks far from what I expected. It's not clear to me how I can use Camtasia to improve this, can you elaborate?

    Thanks,

    Hi Jacques,

    If you have Camtasia Studio installed, you have access to the Techsmith Screencapture Codec which is available in the Video Compression popup that appears after you save the AVI file from the Motion Study. To view your video, folks would need the TSCC codec. It will allow you to produce a better quality .AVI in my opinion.

    I just posted something else related to animations tonight, so make sure you check it out.

    Hi Ricky, I am not able to get a decent AVI file no matter what I do. I am not familiar with screen capture programs but I gather that I could use Camtasia to record the animation in the solidworks environment and then trim the screen and add audio using Camtasia, is that the idea?

    Tanks,
