Export Flood Simulation to a video clip

jakek — Tue, 21 May 2024 14:59:54 GMT

After creating a few Flood Simulations in 3.3.0, it seems only logical to have the ability to export a simulation to a video (.wav, .avi, etc) for sharing with others. Can you please add this ability to the Flood Simulation toybox please?

This feature is already under consideration for a future release of ArcGIS Pro

Having a tool to export the simulation to video is very ... very crucial!!! When shall we expect it?

Working hard to make this happen in Pro 3.5, due out Q2 2025.

Process will be to make the simulation layer "time aware" (ie: set a real-world start time for it) and then export the animation with time-values in keyframes. Will mean you can have control on how fast the water moves (or pause it mid stream) during the video. Fingers crossed!

Thanks!

Hi @jakek! This Idea was implemented with the ArcGIS Pro 3.5 release. You can learn more about this on the Set time properties for simulation layers section of the ArcGIS Pro documentation. To see what else is new in the world of ArcGIS Pro simulations, checkout the What's new in ArcGIS Pro 3.5 documentation.

Howdy @ValeriaChavez! Thank you for fulfilling the request. Makes it much easier to share with others!
