I have 4 horizontal panels, linked (camera linked), showing 4 different variables (the same variable, with different pre-processing). I created a camera path, zooming in and out, to show-compare differences. My data are static, I am simply putting some frames in the Time Editor, and different camera positions.
When saving as animation, nothing is actually being animated. Paraview works hard, thinks, and what I get at the end is a static image.
Yes - I did all that. However, I have realized where my problem was. I have 4 panels, and 3 out of 4 are linked to the first (to synchronize camera). I am constraining my view to a particular resolution (UHD). When doing so, I cannot explicitly click on the first panel, the one actually “containing” the animation info (the other are linked to it).
When going to my custom view resolution, the top header in my panels disappear, and I cannot select the active one I need to. Thus, the strange result described above.
I solved my problem by leaving the custom resolution, clicking the active panel (appearing again) and saving as animation. It now works!
To the developers: any way to fix this? I find myself in the situation of having to constrain the output resolution, as when I am crafting videos for customers they want it to be just that width and height.
