===  Preparation  ===
Set up a creation you want to film.

[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0--10| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/-10.png}}]]

You don't have to hide the HUD, it will automatically be hidden.

Pause the simulation and activate your creation.

* Add the Video Frames:
[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-314| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/314.png}}]]
[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-410| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/410.png}}]]
* Select an output directory:
[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-55| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/55.png}}]]
[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-63| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/63.png}}]]
* Make sure the output format is set to 'BMP':
[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-71| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/71.png}}]]
* Start the batch processing and wait until it's done:
[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-80| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/80.png}}]]
[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-92| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/92.png}}]]
* You can close GIMP now.

[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-130| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/130.png}}]]
* Select 'Audio' -> 'No audio':
[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-140| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/140.png}}]]

[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-162| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/162.png}}]]
* Press 'Save' and wait until the rendering is done:
[[http:''simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-170| {{http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/170.png}}]]

===  Files used  ===
Here you can get the files from the example creation:
[[http://www.mediafire.com/?i30ofx30m1fh2b5]]

===  Automation  ===
User Gamax92 has created to make software to automate the process of pressing P and F a bunch of times. The software can also convert all the created ppm's to bmp's and can also turn those bmp's into an avi file.
