Depth of Field for Video Export

emsargeant · Jun 28th 2017

I thought I saw this on a sample video that the start of the scene is blurry and then it focuses on an object in the background.

When I set the blurry depth of field as my "in scene" and then change it for "out" scene. Video preview just remembers my last setting. What am I missing? Assuming this is possible. Thanks.

I may have answered it before anyone else had a chance to respond. I was trying it with a still shot using only the depth of field changing between in and out points. Appears if you move camera slightly video now recognizes the change between points. Good to know.

Thanks a lot for your report! Luckily we've already fixed that issue in the meantime. The fix will be included in the upcoming version 2.0 of Enscape

Hi. I think I have similar issue. I set up starting point with more depth of field and fog and final point is slightly shifted with no depth of field and no fog and then when I export the video its all with the final point setting. What am I doing wrong? Also it was mentioned that setting up complex path in Enscape 2 will be available and I can't see it in my Sketchup version. thanks

wizualizm if you are running the latest stable release version of Enscape, you should be able to find video path control buttons in Extensions->Enscape menu or on the panel. Creating keyframes or clicking on existing ones will enter keyframe edit mode and let you setup keyframe settings like the field of view for each keyframe. Changing fog setting between keyframes is, however, not available.

If you are running the latest preview UI is a bit different but the core functionality is the same - add/modify keyframes along the camera path.

Hi Alexander. Thank you, I updated Enscape and I can now ad a keyframe. But the keyframe editor is not displayed and i cant find any way to turn it on. Thanks

wizualizm which version do you have now? Release or preview? In release version the path is always displayed and you can click on keyframe models to enter edit mode. In current preview version the only way to enter editor mode is to add a keyframe by pressing 'K' on the keyboard. We will release new preview very soon that will have a panel button to show video editor.

Oh I see. I found the path. Thank you.
