A quick overview of Lumion's Movie mode

With your experience using Lumion, knowing where the Movie mode is located certainly is not a difficult task. In Lumion, a movie or video is divided into smaller sections called clips. The following screenshot gives you a good idea of how to create a clip in Lumion:

The clips you create are the base for the animations you are filming, and you will notice this when creating and tweaking the animations. Of course, it is possible to change the clip's length but it is always a good idea to have the length established from the beginning.

What effects are needed in order to create animations in Lumion? In the Movie effect library there is a tab called Objects, where you can find these effects.

We are going to cover all three of these effects in this chapter but before we jump to that section, let's see how to import animations in Lumion and control them using clips.
