Mark S. is definitely on the right track. If you want to get a professional looking email address, Id recommend buying your name domain name, like or
air jordan 16.5
If its common it might be difficult to get, however, be creative and you can usually find something.

Hi Ricky, i have a question! How do i get under Solid works 2010 other codecs,like the Tech Smith Screen capture codec within the Video compressor?
I have already downlowded the divx codec and installed it on my brandnew pc, but it never appeared in my video compressor.
In the 2007 version of Solid Works, the divx player appeared in the compressor and i had no problem with it. I really dont remember how i used to make the divx codec appear within!
Can you give me a hint, how to go about??? Thanks a lot

This solution gets the output size from the active window size. Is there a way in SolidWorks 2009 to render the SolidWorks screen with specific a frame size and aspect ratio?
If not, is there a way to quick render using PhotoWorks buffer (so you can set frame size and ratio) but without the photorealistic settings to get an aspect like the SolidWorks screen?
Thanks, Matteo

I would alway use the highest quality uncompressed. Some of the video share sites, like Vimeo and Smugmug support HD, plus you can protect who sees it. so you could very easily set up a customer site for animations.

Hi Ricky, I am not able to get a decent AVI file no matter what I do. I am not familiar with screen capture programs but I gather that I could use Camtasia to record the animation in the solidworks environment and then trim the screen and add audio using Camtasia, is that the idea?

Tanks,

Jacques

Hi Jacques,

If you have Camtasia Studio installed, you have access to the Techsmith Screencapture Codec which is available in the Video Compression popup that appears after you save the AVI file from the Motion Study. To view your video, folks would need the TSCC codec. It will allow you to produce a better quality .AVI in my opinion.

I just posted something else related to animations tonight, so make sure you check it out.

Hi Ricky, thanks for the tips. I am having problems producing a quality animation, here is what I have so far:

it's my first one and it looks far from what I expected. It's not clear to me how I can use Camtasia to improve this, can you elaborate?

Thanks,
