15.6 Animations

Result animations can be exported from the TUFLOW Viewer for all accepted result types (map outputs, time series, particles etc). The process for animation creation is the same regardless of the result type. The tool will export an image for each timestep in a given range, then use ffmpeg to convert the images into a video file. TUFLOW Viewer offers the additional functionality of adding dynamic plots and dynamic time text. It also offers convenience functionality for adding items such as a legend, images etc, however these can also be added manually in the print layout.

Instructions on how to export animations is found on the TUFLOW Wiki TUFLOW Viewer - Exporting An Animation page and an example provided in the below video.
