To record a movie

2. On the Edit menu, click Options. You can control the recording procedure by specifying various options.



3. On the General tab, specify the Series length and other settings you want.



4. On the Format tab, specify the file format for your movie and the compressor to be used.



5. On the Renderer tab, choose a rendering mode to draw the image in the 3D View window.



6. On the Watermark tab, you can place a watermark over the image.



7. On the Advanced tab, you can turn on the antialiasing filter for a better image quality, include the mouse pointer in the 3D View capture, and define the event that triggers recording when the user clicks in the 3D View window.



8. To prepare the program for recording a movie, click the Record button on the Standard Buttons toolbar or mark Record in the Control menu.
