* ffmpeg is a free and powerful (and open source) video converter and manipulator. TUFLOW Viewer will call ffmpeg as the last step to create the video
* TUFLOW Viewer will take care of all the interaction with ffmpeg and the user is not required to learn how to use ffmpeg
<li> Open the export animation tool via '''Export >> Export Animation'''<br>
[[File: Animation_Export_Animation_Menu.PNG]]
<li> Set the '''General''' settings<br>
[[File: Animation_Export_Animation_General_Settings.PNG]]<br>
<ol>
<li> '''Start Time''' - The output time to start on
<li> '''End Time''' - The output time to end on
<li> '''Result''' - The result to animate - currently can only animate one result (result types with the same name (time series, particles - particles will have _ptm in its name) will be included in the same animation
<li> '''Active Scalar Result''' - Active scalar result type to animate - can only choose one, can select '''-None-''' to not use any
<li> '''Active Vector Result''' - Active vector result type to animate - can only choose one, can select '''-None-''' to not use any
<li> '''Width''' - Animation video width - can be changed later in the print layout - will be overriden by template if one is specified
<li> '''Height''' - Animation video height - can be changed later in the print layout - will be overriden by template if one is specified
<li> '''Output''' - Output location of video file
<li> '''Revert to old method''' - Kept for backward compatibility - will ignore '''Target Duration''' and the duration will be determined by number of output timesteps (i.e. the frames) and the speed
<li> '''Speed''' - Animation video frames per second (fps) - unless using the 'old method' this will not affect the video duration. Will not interpolate between frames, however can still produce a smoother video
<li> Target Duration - Animation duration - this setting is ignored if using the 'old method'
