Export a storyboard as a video file

00:01

So on this next section in communicating design intent using Autodesk InfraWorks,

00:05

we take a look at exporting videos out and sharing that with external stakeholders.

00:13

We previously talked about sharing snapshots, creating snapshots and being able to save them a simple JPEGs,

00:19

and then we created a storyboard that we can share.

00:22

Next step would be sharing that with the external stakeholders of the project.

00:27

And you can do that a couple of different ways.

00:29

The easy way is to export it out as a video file that anybody can view.

00:34

So you can simply select AVA format file and export out a video that you have created from your storyboard.

00:41

Or you can share your presentation and collaborate by using BIM 360 project.

00:47

Either way, simple to use.

00:48

We'll take a look at exporting out a video right now.

00:51

So let's go InfraWorks and export out our storyboard.

00:56

So we're here in our InfraWorks model.

00:57

Let's go ahead and select our "Presentation" icon here.

01:01

And if we select Storyboard Creator, you will see that we have created a storyboard already here.

01:08

And we have a couple options of exporting that out.

01:11

We can export out the storyboard to be used in another InfraWorks model,

01:15

or we can export out a video file, and we can save and share that with anybody.

01:22

So I'm simply going to select the "Export Storyboard to Video".

01:28

Different options here. Windows Media, DV, and JPEG.

01:32

Now, we're going to go Windows Media video.

01:35

Filename, you can save it where you want.

01:37

Frame Rate, and Resolution.

01:40

All that stuff, we're going to simply just select Record, and it's going to export out a video that we can use.

01:47

So very easily, we created our storyboard, and then we have that available to export out as a video.

In this tutorial, we’re taking a look at exporting animated videos out and sharing them with external stakeholders.

There are different ways you can do this:

  • Export a storyboard as a video file that anyone can view as an AVI format file.
  • Share your presentations with collaborators by uploading your Auotdesk InfraWorks models to a BIM 360 project.

To export a storyboard:

  1. From your storyboard, select the “Export Storyboard” icon.
  2. Select the “Encoder” type, file name and resolution.
  3. Click “Record” and this will export your video!
