How do we define the Frames per Second in Visualization Group?

Question

Hi everyone, 
 
 I'm using OpenUtilities Subsation, which has a Visualization workflow inside it. I've created an animation script which is working fine. The problem is when I try to record it. It's going way too faster than I want. 
 
 To give you a better view: 
 1. My scrip has 580 frames. 
 
 2. I'm using those configurations and exporting to MWV format: 
 
 3. I even tried to change the Speed (Tricks/Frame) as you can see in the figure below, but I don't think it's working.

How can I proceed? I wish I could have 1 or 2 frames per second. But for now it's only generating videos of 20 seconds.

Hi Matheus, 
 In the MicroStation Movies window under Setting>Playback> a tick is equal to 1/60th of a second . 
 Since your Playback setting shows 2 (ticks/frame), each frame only lasts 1/30th of a second, so your 580 frames animation it plays back in 20 second. If you want each frame to last 1 second the tick value should be set to 60 (ticks/frame) . 
 Using 60 (ticks/frame) the duration of your animation will be 580 seconds (9 minutes and 40 seconds). Using 30 (ticks/frame) the duration of your animation will be 290 seconds (4 minutes and 50 seconds). 
 Regards, Ron

Is the playback in the player or the rendered video too fast. 
 For rendering the animation to a file the FPS is set from the animation settings:
