Read

This button reads a version 3.0 animation script.

Save

This button saves a version 3.0 animation script.

Write CLI Script

This button writes a CLI format script using the currently specified framerate. The CLI script generated is suitable for immediate use in AVS. Note that large framerates couple with long animations can produce rather large CLI scripts (usually several thousand lines).

Show Flight Path

This button causes the current flight path to be written to a file as a geometry which can be displayed geometry in the geometry viewer. Figure 5 shows the flight path for a teapot flyby constructed from six keyframes.
