Recording a video

If you want to export the animations in a talk as a video, or want it to play in a loop at a poster session, --record renders the whole deck to an mp4, transitions included.

./project_exe --project_path /home/.../slope_project --record

It runs without any interaction and writes <project_path>/<project name>.mp4. Each slide change is played frame by frame, then the settled slide is held with its animations still running.

Flag	Effect	Default
--record	render the deck to an mp4 and quit
--fps <n>	frame rate of the video	30
--record_dwell <s>	seconds each settled slide is held	2

The frames go to a temporary folder and are encoded with ffmpeg (PathToFFMPEG, see options) as h264. A camera flight is not replayed, the slide's view is applied directly, as in a PDF export.
