Unless you have already done so, take the following preparatory steps:Once a show has been provided with digital pictures and videos and been completed, you can create a video in WMV format. Output of WMV videos, however, requires the Advanced License. Wings Vioso RX also supports WMV multi-channel audio in 5.1 and 7.1 mode, provided the Pro License is installed.
Unless you have already done so, take the following preparatory steps:
Optimize the display data ...achieves better sharpness of the pictures and reduces the burden on the computer. See Optimizing display data for picture and text objects.
Optimize the soundtrack level control ...ensures lossless and correct audio playback. See Sound track peak level.
Open your show. If you have just finished editing your project, save the modifications.
In the main menu, click Output - Windows Media Video... for a dialog to pop up.
For standard shows the default settings for Timeline and Screen as well as Display can remain as they are. You only need to choose the corresponding screens or timelines, when you are using several screens and timelines for your project. For multidisplay projects you can either select one individual display for output or All active displays, which allows creation of all picture sequences for all active displays in one go. Option Display Splitting is used for distributed and simultaneous rendering via client computerss and can only be used by specialist for very special applications.
Checkbox Fill output frame usually remains unchecked, to avoid distortion of screen or pictures. When the aspect ratios of screen and video to be produced differ, a black border is formed. To avoid black borders, check checkbox Fill Output Frame. In this case the picture may be distorted as the full output format is forced.
For Multidisplay projects using a number of networked computers, you can have the softedge mask additionally rendered into the picture. If applicable, place a checkmark next to this option.
Option Allow usage of intermediate video data can be enabled if you encounter problems, e.g. if H.264 videos cannot be rendered on the basis of original data. When this option is checked, intermediate video data are used for rendering, provided they are available for the videos in question.
Option Adjust picture display data manually should only be checked if you have important reasons to do so. It deactivates automatic creation of suitable display data for the chosen output size. A manual reduction of the display data size may, for instance, be necessary when there is not enough graphics memory for rendering the picture sequence and certain media are not displayed in the picture sequence.
If the video is to be presented on a monitor or video projector, leave the value for Black border at 0 %. Only if you would like to present the video on a TV monitor, should you add a black border. Otherwise the picture is cropped. See also Border for playback on TV screens. At Black border enter a value of 5 % (... corresponds to 2.5 % along the periphery) which should be suitable for most TV sets.
Select the portion to be rendered as video. The following options are available:
Complete timeline from 0:00 seconds ... Just like the timeline, the show starts at zero seconds, so that a possible trailer up to the first object is also included. It finishes after the last object ( ... recommended for normal presentation CDs).
Complete timeline starting with first object ... The show starts before the first and finishes after the last object. (... recommended for standard videos)
Only selected portion of timeline ...Only the portion marked in the timeline is considered. When no portion is marked, this option is not available....Marking a portion.
The target directory is your project folder, the preset filename is "Video 001". You can change these settings by clicking on 
and making the corresponding alterations. Finally, click Next.
Next to Profile click on the arrow 
and select the required profile. Which preset you choose primarily depends on the further usage of the video or playback (PC, Internet, etc.). In the field below you will find a few remarks on the profile after selecting it.
Profiles for stereo sound track
Profiles for surround sound track 5.1 or 7.1
After selecting the profile you need to enter Width and Height for the corresponding video picture size. By clicking on 
you can Assign standard screen output size, which is appropriate for split videos and multidisplay shows. Please note that pixel values must be dividable by 4.
The appropriate frame rate for playback from the computer is 25, 30 or 60 frames/s. The appropriate frame rate also depends on the videos integrated in the show. See also Media integration. The best results can be achieved at 60 f/s, which has a particularly positive effect on fast moving picture elements but which, on the other hand, requires more computing power for playback.
If you have made the corresponding setting, click Next.
You can plan actions to be carried out directly after video rendering:
No further actions ...nothing happens, the MPEG file is stored on the hard disk for further use.
Show options dialog ...will show you the Options dialog again at a later time and provides information about video creation.
Start playback ...starts the video with the player specified under Options - Global Options - Media Editors.
Insert as presentation into the current project ...creates a video track in Exclusive Mode (...requires the Advanced License or up) in the current project containing the new video. You can start it in presentation mode by pressing the F5 key.
If you want to shut down and switch off the computer at the end of video rendering, you need to check Afterwards and select the corresponding action by clicking on .
Click on Start to begin video rendering. This may take up to several hours, depending on picture size, show length and computer performance. Progress and cumulative speed at x-times real time can be recognized in the progress dialog.
Display of the images on the screen at an incorrect aspect ratio during rendering does not mean that the outcome of rendering calculation will be faulty, provided the screen is correctly configured.
When you terminate video rendering before it is finished, the file is stored on the hard disk though and the completed section can also be played back.
If you want to create videos from shows with screen field movements, panning and zoom movements, you should choose a high frame frequency, e.g. 60 f/s. See Tips for video rendering. Moreover, excessively sharpened pictures or pictures with high-contrast structures may result in a flickering effect or interference pattern during the movement. In this case you should reduce sharpening of the picture and possibly change the speed of movement or zoom.
Please note that powerful modern graphics cards can only process images and picture sequences up to a maximum width and height of 16,000 pixels. The limit for older graphics cards is 8,000 pixels. If an image is too large, it can’t be rendered and will not be included in the video.
High-resolution videos with fast moving picture elements make high demands on the data projector signal processing system. For production you should use a good monitor for reference purposes. This is the only way to find out whether what you have produced with Wings Vioso RX is played without any jerks on your computer. See also Valuable information about data projectors.
You can produce simple CDs or DVDs which autoplay the video after being inserted in the drive. See CD/DVD-ROM Autoplay.
