Hi,

is it possible to set up a trigger on "On Model Open" which will start the (predefined) Video Recording?

Thank you,

You can inspect the structure of the Video Recorder GUI to see that the 'Record' button has something similar to this:

Object vr=Model.find("Tools/VideoRecorder");
treenode outputs = node(">variables/outputs", vr);
clearcontents(getvarnode(vr, "active"));
treenode stopTimes = assertvariable(vr, "stopTimes");
stopTimes.value = nullvar;
for(int r = 1; r <= content(outputs); r++){
        treenode currOutput = rank(outputs, r);
        int active = getnodenum(node("active", currOutput));    
        if(active == 0){  //If this output's not active, we don't care about it.        
            continue;
        }
        // nodepoint(getvarnode(vr, "jobscallback"), node("onStopRecord", eventfunctions(ownerview(c))));   //
        function_s(vr, "GenRecording", VREC_RECMODE_ONE, currOutput);            
}    
sendmessage(vr, vr, VREC_MSG_JOBS_RUN);

You may/not need to set the callback to some dummy node - the line I commented out for now.
