Preparation
Set up a creation you want to film.
[[http:simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0--10| Template: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.
[[http:simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0--20| Template:Http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/-20.png]]
Step 1: Create Video Frames
Method 1
Press P and F on a rotating basis until the desired sequence is done.
Method 2
Use Gamax92's Video Maker to record the frames.
[[http:imageshack.us/m/196/3774/20110515114400.png| Template:Http:''imageshack.us/m/196/3774/20110515114400.th.png]]
Then press Start Recording and when the desired sequence is done press Stop Recording.
When you look into your PowderToy folder it should look similar to this.

- Select an output directory:
[[http:simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-55| Template:Http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/55.png]] [[http:simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-63| Template: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| Template: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| Template:Http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/80.png]] [[http:simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-92| Template:Http:''i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/thumbnail/92.png]]
- You can close GIMP now.
