Setting Description

Total Frames

Sets the total number of frames in the walkthrough.

Total Time

Displays the total walkthrough duration. Total Time is a read-only value, determined by Total Frames and Frames per second settings.

For example, 300 frames at 15 frames per second results in a 20-second total walkthrough duration. To produce a 40-second walkthrough, change Total Frames to 600 or the Frames per second to 7.5.

Uniform Speed

When selected, a default uniform speed at which the camera travels along the entire path is applied to the walkthrough. Clearing this option allows you to edit the Accelerator column values.

Frames per second

Sets the number of frames per second for the walkthrough animation.

Key Frame

Displays the number of each key frame in the walkthrough path.

Frame

Identifies the frame number (1-300, for example) for each key frame along the path.

Accelerator

Sets and displays the speed of the walkthrough playback at specific key frames. To change the speed, clear the Uniform Speed option.

Speed (per sec)

Displays the speed (distance per second) at which the camera travels along the path at each key frame. Speed (per sec) is determined by the accelerator value. If the Uniform Speed option is selected, all Speed (per sec) values are the same.

Elapsed Time (sec)

Displays the amount of time that has elapsed since the first key frame. The total time of the walkthrough is based on the number of frames and frames per second.

Indicators

Select Indicators to see the frame distribution along a walkthrough path.

Frame Increment

When Indicators is selected, enter a Frame Increment value at which indicators display.
