Create Video Dialog
The video dialog gives access to several preset animations and creating your own animations.
If a structure or a volume field is loaded in the Visualization area of the GeoDict GUI, the Create Video dialog opens after selecting File → Save Video as… from the menu bar or by clicking the icon 
in the GeoDict toolbar.
In the Create Video dialog, the options are organized into the 3D and 2D tabs. The Create Video dialog opens automatically to the 2D tab or the 3D tab depending on the current view (2D or 3D) in the Visualization area. That is, the 3D tab is active if a structure is visualized in 3D while opening the Create Video dialog. When switching to the 2D tab, the visualization of the structure changes to 2D view automatically in the GeoDict GUI.
Use Presets
For 3D and 2D visualization, the Create Video dialog contains a selection of several preset animations that are used to create a video immediately after clicking the corresponding Generate Video button.
The preset file for each animation may be opened and edited in the Video Editor dialog by clicking the Open Video Editor button. The preview on the left shows (approximately) how the finished video will look like.
