The Flythrough App is located in the Media tab of the Fuzor App Menu. The Alt + 7 hotkey opens the Flythrough App. This app is used to create and export videos of your 4D Sequence. From this menu you can access many other Apps and bind them to frames in the flythrough tool giving you full control of your animation. These flythrough animations can be exported as .MP4 or an .fmp (Fuzor Movie Project) for filesharing and converting to interactive VR videos.

Shown above is a video timeline. This timeline is used to create your video animation. Each of the frame can be populated with a snapshot of the current 3D view. When populated a frame is considered a node. The tool automatically transitions between nodes. If there are empty frames in between nodes the transition will have a longer duration.

A Cut Node allows you to transition between two camera positions instantly. Scenes before a cut node transition to the first part of the cut node. Scenes after a cut node transition from the second half of the cut node.

The Flythrough toolbox is used to manage your flythrough video. When creating a new Flythrough, or opening an old one, ensure that anything currently in the Flythrough App that you would like to keep is saved.

The New button clears the current project beginning anew

The Open button opens a previously saved .fmp.

The Save button saves your current project as a .fmp.

The Close button exits the Flythrough App.

The Render button renders your Flythrough exporting it as an MP4.

There are six different tabs in the Flythrough app. Most of attributes edited within these Apps only apply to the node they are saved in. From these tabs you can access other Apps in Fuzor and control them for individual nodes in the flythrough animation.

When you select the Render button in the Flythrough Animation Toolbox you are prompted by the Render Export Window which allows you to select various render settings.

The Video Quality tab allows you to select from three general render quality options using the radio buttons. Draft is the lowest Render setting.

The two drop down menu control anti-aliasing options in your render. Anti-aliasing smooths edges. Higher degrees will increase the overall render time.

The Video Frame Rate setting adjusts the frames per second of the video. A higher frame rate renders the video smoother. Framerate Options are: 16fps, 24fps, 29.97 fps, 30fps, and 80fps.

The Video Resolution setting controls the number of pixels in the exported video.

The Video Aspect Ratio changes the radio between the length and the width of the exported video. For each of these options the first number relates to the width whereas the second relates to the height.
