Video Grabber

Video Grabber is a UnigineEditor tool for high-quality capturing of screenshots and frame sequences. Frame sequences are captured in a special non-real-time mode, allowing to get any fixed FPS even on a low-end hardware. In comparison with traditional CPU-based offline rendering, this tool allows much faster rendering thanks to GPU acceleration.

Video Grabber supports capturing of screenshots with extremely high resolution: 4K or even 8K images can be taken with a regular monitor. Also Video Grabber supports the profession EXR format in addition to the standard TGA, JPG, PNG and PSD formats.

Notice
The screenshots will be captured using the chosen camera.

The captured screenshots can be processed by a special video utility to make a video file.

Warning
The tool is available only in the Sim and Professional Unigine SDKs.
