Can someone post how to do an animation with the Iray plugin in Iray?? When I tried to render 100 frames of animation all I got was a bunch of high quality still pics. I tried 2 settings - the 'Save MI Scene' and the 'Iclone Render (Image Sequence and MP4)' and neither produced an animation. I'm new to Iclone so I feel like it's operator error on my part. Does anyone have any tips? And can anyone post what an Iray animation render looks like?

You have to use Image sequence from desired range to export.
Select FPS as 24/30 etc
Use External Program like Adobe Premiere Pro/ Non linear Video editor to convert image sequence to video
Also export Audio in wav and import into the above video editor.
When importing the image sequence make sure the FPS is correctly defined to match with 24/30

Some free video editors are VSDC, iMovie, and Davinci Resolve.  Just import the image sequence along with your audio, sync them (they should be synced if they were both exported (individually) from your iClone animation sequence), then export from the video editor as a video file (mp4 or whatever).

lol I hope you have a lot of Time and Patience....

3Aliens I appreciate the honesty!!! I do actually have some free video software that can compile images into a video and overlay audio. I DID try that and it did NOT come out well. And I have made other videos before using this editing/compiling software. SO I think it will take some time. I'll also download one of the video software programs listed above and see how they do. But, yeah, I think it will take time and skill.

If you do not want to change your video editing program, you can easily do this with free Hitfilm Express. You might want to check out the video on how it's done.

It can also be done with the Corel Video studio program.

I use Movavi Studio, which is frankly simple, and I'm quite satisfied. I only turn to programs like hitfilm express for sequence.

I have Movavi as well!!!! I tried it and it looked weird BUT it was my first run at it. I'll watch your video and give it another go.

I made this video with Movavi 2021.
Now I upgraded to 2022 version.
Although it is very unlikely, it may be version related.
But it is much more likely to be caused by the converter program.

For example, I could not export transparent video with sound with Corel Video Studio.
But hitfilm express also transfers the sound and works perfectly.

I haven't had any problems so far.
This is how I made the character who said subscribe at the beginning of the video.
