⏺️Capture

In Animotive, you can capture a performance before or after spawning a Camera.

To begin Capture, hold down the Y button on your left hand. A 3 second count-in will appear, after which you can start your performance. To end the capture, just tap the Y button and release it.

You can also start a Capture through the Timeline Panel. Point your laser at the Panels Menu, and select it by pressing the right trigger. Now, point your laser at the Timeline button, and select it by pressing the right trigger.

Click the red record symbol to start a Capture. Simply click the symbol again to stop the Capture. In Animotive, you have the freedom to set up cameras and/or lights before or after a character performance. If you choose to capture a raw performance first, only the movements of characters and props you may be grabbing will be recorded when you hit capture. If you set up cameras and lights before performance, not only the scene as seen through the cameras will be recorded as well as the performances themselves but also lighting conditions and potential camera movements once you start capturing. We strongly advise to set up cameras and lights before capturing and assess the performance through the monitors. You will, in any case, always have the option to endlessly modify your cameras and lights' positions and settings at a later stage.
