Recording Simulations!

I’m trying to do a simulation on my Robot Studio 3.2 and I’ve a lot of question… in summary, what’s the best configuration to record avi files with a small file size and good appearance and animation?

  1. Should I use AVI Capture Add-in or Camtasia Recorder?

  2. On the AVI Capture Options window , at the Propertiers field, whats configurations should I mark? Look the movie called AVI_OPTION that I attached to look around the configurations that I’m using:

2006-06-14_172506_AVI_OPTION.zip

What’s the best configuration to Compression Control? (AVI OPTIONS → VIDEO PROPERTIES → CONFIGURE)

Should I mark Key Frame Every frames? If I mark this, whats number of frame should I use? (AVI OPTIONS → VIDEO PROPERTIES)

What’s values should I use in Capture Frame Rate and Playback Frame Rate? Should I mark the option Use optimal Frame Rate?

When I finished my record, and opened my video I can see everything too slow… so, I tried to use Camtasia Studio to increase the clip speed…

  1. Camtasia Producer can increase the clip speed. How much do you do that? 500% of original clip speed? 900%?

  2. Do you use the same Record Configurations when you’re using Fly Through Recorder?

  3. About the Update Rate, must be 0 all the time during the recording? or 6? or other value?

Could you help me ?! Please!!! :wink:

Here are the settings I normally use:

  1. AVI Capture Addin.
  2. Fixed region 1024x768.
    Video Properties - Compressor = TechSmtih Screen Capture.
    Capture Frame Rate between 5 and 10 (depending on the size of the RS station).
    Playback Frame Rate between 5 and 30 (depending on what “clip speed” you want, e.g. if the Capture rate is 5 and Playback rate 10 will the “clip Speed” be double the “RS speed”.
  3. Change the Capture rate instead.
  4. Yes.
  5. Between 0 and 3 (depending on the size of the station).
