Intro to render

Synfig Comment Utiliser Sweetch Youtube

Rendering an animation in Synfig can be done in two way, by the Command Line Interface (CLI) or through the Render Dialog

Target

Rendering to Video

Rendering to video directly from Synfig under Windows Operating Systems presents some challenges.

Synfig Examples Youtube

If you want to render to anything other than .mpg with 'ffmpeg', you'll want to save a series of images that represent your animation, to a still format that ffmpeg can read. I recommend 'png'. Whilst you can render to any size image, if you're going to show your video on Youtube*.mpg->, you may want to take that into account when you render.

If you set up your render like

'Image Size'

Synfig Youtube
  • Width 320 Xres 72.0 Physical width 4.44
  • Height 240 Yres 72.0 Physical Height 3.33
  • Image span 10.0000

'Image Area'

  • Top left X : -4 Y : 3
  • Bottom right X : 4 Y : -3

You will get a series of .png files in your output directory. Open a command prompt, cd to that directory, then use ffmpeg to assemble these png files into the video stream of your choice. for example -

C:output>ffmpeg -r 15 -i rfrac%04d.png -f flv fractal.flv

creates a Flash video file of with the same framerate as used on Youtube. You should be able to submit it to Youtube without the need for the Youtube servers to have to re-compress it.

Notes

note 1 - wtf is yuv?

The yuv file is rendered but it seems to have a not compatible format. See the console output when try to convert to a avi using ffmepg.

ffmpeg -i RenderTest.yuv -sameq RenderTest.aviFFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard

I can watch a .yuv animation. You need to specify the size it was rendered at - that doesn't seem to be part of the file format:

I can single-step through a .yuv animation, using SPACE to step forward and BACKSPACE to step back through the frames:

I can also convert a .yuv to a series of .png files. This makes file-0.png through file-23.png for a 24 frame animation:

I also discovered that ffmpeg will happily convert a .yuv to .avi if you just tell it the image dimensions:

svn r980 adds headers to created .yuv files, so you no longer need to specify the size when using them. -- dooglus 21:50, 25 October 2007 (EDT)

Mmmm I can play yuv files with mplayer and with ffplay. Also I can convert a yuv file to an avi (or whatever ffmpeg can encode) without telling the video size. I think it depends on how ffmpeg was compiled. Genete 11:59, 4 June 2008 (EDT)


note 2 - how to render for TV formats

If you need to render stills (pngs) for something where the final format does not have square pixels, such as PAL or NTSC DV, you can use the approach outlined below.

0) Select png format as you would otherwise

1) Use square pixel when you edit it in synfig (1024x576 for PAL 16:9 and 768x576 for PAL 4:3. (Pixelgeek calculates this to be 958x540 for anamorphic and 720x540 for SD NTSC)

2) Just before rendering, in canvas property->Other->Locks and links, set checkboxes for Image Aspect and Image Span, and uncheck Pixel Aspect (Depending on synfig version, this may possibly be the options dialog for File|Render, at least it is for me)

3) Change back to the Image settings

4) Change resolution to 720x576 for PAL, 720*480 for NTSC

5) Render

That should produce stills with the right 'pixel aspect'. When viewed on the PC using square pixels, a circle will appear as an oval. When viewed on a TV with the right pixelaspect, the circle will become a circle.
