Some animations can be done with combined results visualization, from the same or different analysis, for instance an isosurface iso-surface animation from OLS result of ODDLS analysis with a contour fill of Pressure of the RANSOL analysis can also be done with this window. The only constraint is that the number of steps and the step values should be the same in both analysis.

- Save TIFF/JPEG/GIFs on: Save snapshots, in TIFF, JPEG or GIF format, of each step when the 'Play' button is pushed. Here the filename given will be used as a prefix to create the TIFF/JPEG/GIFs; for instance, if you write MyAnimation, TIFF/JPEG/GIF files will be created with names MyAnimation-01.tif/MyAnimation-01.gif, MyAnimation-02.tif/MyAnimation-02.gif, and so on.
- Save animation: by checking this options and entering a filename a movie clip will be saved ( by pressing play) with the selected compression method. The supported formats are:
- MPEG: uses the MPEG-2 standard algorithm to encode the frames, creating an .mpg video.
- AVI mjpeg: using jpeg compression for each frame.
- AVI MS Video 1: using Microsoft(R)'s Video 1 compression algorithm.
- AVI raw True Color: no compression, in 24 bpp ( 16 million colourscolors).
- AVI raw 15 bpp (VD): no compression but in 15 bpp ( 32 thousand colourscolors).
- AVI raw 16 bpp (MS): no compression but in 16 bpp ( 65 thousand colourscolors).
- GIF no dithering: creates an animated gif image, reducing the number of colours colors to 256 ( creating some band artifacts).
- GIF dithering595: creates an animated gid image, reducing the number of colours colors to 256 but applying a dithering algorithm to reduce the band artifacts. The rgb palette used in the dithering algorithm is based on 5 reds, 9 greens and 5 blues.
- GIF dithering666: creates an animated gid image, reducing the number of colours colors to 256 but applying a dithering algorithm to reduce the band artifacts. The rgb palette used in the dithering algorithm is based on 6 reds, 6 greens and 6 blues.
- Macromedia Flash Video ( .flv): creates Macromedia (R) flash video using the Screen video compression format.
- MP4 (openh264 ffmpeg) : .mp4 container using openh264 compression codec,
- AVI(openh264 ffmpeg) : .avi container using openh264 compression codec,
- AVI (MS mpeg4v3 ffmpeg) : .avi container using Microsoft's mpeg4 v3 compression codec,
- AVI (mpeg4 ffmpeg) : .avi container using mpeg4 part 2 compression codec,
- AVI (mjpeg ffmpeg) : .avi container using ffmpeg's mjpeg compression codec,
- GIF (animated gif ffmpeg) : .gif animated file created with ffmpeg compressor,
- FLV (flash video ffmpeg) : .flv video created with ffmpeg's flash screen video compressor,
- WEBM (vp9 web video ffmpeg) : .webm video (for internet browsers) using google's VP9 codec,
- WEBM (vp9 with transparency ffmpeg) : .webm video (for internet browsers) with transparency layer (stores the alpha channel like in png images) using googleGoogle's VP9 codec.
- Quality: allows to set the quality (1..100) of the compression, this factor is translated to the bitrate used in the compression process.
...
- Create a stereoscopic animation: Permits to create a stereoscopic animation which for each frame the left eye view and the right view are saved, i.e. effectively doubling the width of the frames. Special software video players, and hardware, are needed to view this animation correctly. Only AVI format is supported at the time.
- Default: This combobox combo-box permits to choose the resolution of the clip.
