Media

Overview

The Media feature in the SiEGA Globe Viewer enables users to capture, save, and revisit specific camera positions, as well as record high-quality video footage with automatic motion smoothing. This is especially valuable when working with complex environments that require consistent, predefined perspectives.

Users can save camera viewpoints with custom names for quick access and streamlined navigation. Additionally, the recording tool allows for the creation of polished video clips with options to adjust playback speed, including slow motion or fast-forward effects.

All captured views, whether images or videos, can be easily exported to your local machine for sharing or further editing.
