    Default Best rendering settings for exporting a timeline animation

    I have just started using Navisworks and I am wondering what the best settings are for exporting a high quality timeline animation?

    I have tried rendering with both OpenGL and Presenter, is there any way to show the timeline clock when exporting with Presenter? It automatically had it on OpenGL but not in Presenter.

    Here is a guess. Create a copy of your file and in the copy make everything transparent, set your background to Green with Black text. Export and open GL timeliner use 1280 x 720 or higher resolution with 10x anti-aliasing. Oh the trick to the Navisworks movie export is exporting to images. You can use something like Blender.org to compile them into a video.

    Next in your good model, do the same timeliner export from Presenter. Good time to take an african safari or a 42-day hike across europe.

    Here is the best part. Buy a Mac.

    iMovie lets you compile multiple videos on top of each other using the green screen effect. There is other software out there but I'm not in touch with it. If you are using Navisworks for video promotions. You need real movie making software.

    Here is a post I made a long time ago. Regardless of what the others say, you can produce HD quality timeliners with this method that will blow minds.
