Hi Berk,

I have generated an animation using the method you are referring to, where individual images are generated for each time-step. The individual images generated out of Paraview v3.4.0 are high quality when using this approach.

Please see the email I sent to you directly that includes a sample movie, illustrating the poor movie quality.

Does Paraview have its own built-in codecs or does it use codecs available elsewhere on the computer system?

Sincerely,
Rick

If you save the animation as a series of images, are the images of
poor quality as well? I am trying to figure out if the encoding or
screen capture is bad.

I have been trying to generate several animations in paraview v3.4.0 (32 bit
windows xp O.S.) but so far the animation quality has been terrible. I have
reviewed some of the previous posts and solutions but making the changes
offered in those solutions did not change the quality of the animations
generated.  Specifically, I turned off the light kit and I also unchecked
the "Use Offscreen Rendering for Screenshots", which can be found under
"Render View" in the options.  I did not have problems with animation
quality until upgrading to version 3.  Since then all of the version 3
variants of paraview have given me the same animation quality problems.

Additional information: I generate an animation by choosing "save animation"
under "file", set the frames per sec., etc. and then save the animation as
an "avi" file.  I was hoping someone who subscribes to this list could
provide some guidance on how to generate a high quality animation out of
paraview v3.4.0.  I have also tried this on two different windows xp
computers with different video cards and drivers, but still get the same
results.

Sincerely,
Rick
