Recording a Video

Record a short video of the viewport while the recorder drives the camera: a turntable round your model, or a flythrough of your saved views. The result is a .webm file in your Explorer, ready to download and share.

Right-click the viewport ▸ Tools ▸ Recording…

The Recording dialog set to a one-turn turntable of the whole scene

What to film

Mode What the camera does Options
Turntable circles the selection (or the whole scene), starting from where you are looking Turns (¼ – 3), Direction, Frame it to fit (otherwise it keeps your distance)
Flythrough flies through your saved camera views in order, passing through each one and blending the lens (field of view) between them —

A flythrough needs at least two saved views: right-click the viewport ▸ Camera bookmarks ▸ Save current view.

The dialog estimates the file size before you start.

While it records

A small bar shows the progress, with Cancel. The camera is yours alone: nothing is sent to anyone in the session, and your view comes back where it was afterwards.

The recording bar above the toolbar

The file

The video is saved to Explorer ▸ Recordings (double-click it to play it) and offered as Download.

The finished take: Download, Show in Explorer, Record again

Limits

  • Not in VR or Play — the recorder drives the editor camera.
  • Hiding the browser tab stops the take.
  • Files over the Explorer's 25 MB item limit can still be downloaded but are not kept in the library.
  • A small viewport is rendered at a higher pixel ratio during the take (up to 3×), so a 1080p video stays sharp.

Note

This page is about video. Performance recordings — frame time and draw calls — are in the Profiler.
