Tool Description
Animations can be exported from TUFLOW Viewer for all accepted result types (map outputs, time series, particles etc). The process for animation creation is the same regardless of the result type and leverages the QGIS print layout. The tool will export an image for each timestep in a given range and then use ffmpeg to convert the images into a video. TUFLOW Viewer offers the additional functionality of adding dynamic plots and dynamic time text. It also offers convenience functionality for adding items such as a legend, images etc, however these can also be added manually in the print layout.
The following steps through the process of creating an animation with TUFLOW Viewer.
- Download ffmpeg - https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
- 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
