In ReCap, the video creation tool enables you to quickly turn a series of View States into an animation,

00:11

which can be useful for presentations, work packets, or marketing materials.

00:15

Creating View States preserves custom visualizations within your project by saving camera orientation data,

00:23

as well as current render settings.

00:27

To create a View State with the current view settings, in the Project Navigator, click the plus (+).

00:33

As you navigate the view to create a series of View States, each one is added and grouped in the Project Navigator,

00:40

and the Play and Export tools appear.

00:44

ReCap can generate an animation that moves seamlessly between these states, maintaining a sense of context within the model.

00:52

Click Play to cycle through the View States contained within that group, from top to bottom, as they appear in the Project Navigator.

To export the animation in AVI or MP4 format, click Export.

01:15

such as looping the video.
