Video running differently from simulation

bod-line-presentation.fsm

I am trying to record a simulation video of the attached model. However, after I record it, I notice there is a difference between the movement of the robot (the end effector rotates in a very strange move for no reason) at the beginning of the video. I have already tried to record twice, and this issue remains to happen. Is there any solution for that?

Here is a screen shot of the video so that it is possible to compare the differences I am describing:

Thank you very much.

Hmm I'm not sure what the issue could be. I can't seem to replicate it. Whenever I record the video it records/plays the same as the model runs. There doesn't seem to be any odd rotation of the crane. It's possible that you've run into a bug of some kind.

That's what I'm thinking about. Maybe if I try to record it in another machine...

@Sam Stubbs

Is it possible for you to send me the video you recorded? Actually, I need one with the best quality possible to use in a presentation. I have already tried to record it other times with other machine and it didn't work.

I really don't know what's going on. I tried to use other machine to record the video again and I still face the same problem...

I think we figured out what the issue is. This happens because you start your recording at 12 (instead of 0, the start time of the model). The Robot hasn't been prerendered to be in the particular position it normally is at that time. So when it positions itself to be in the right spot for the starting keyframe it results in a strange starting position.

What I would recommend with this particular model, is to record starting at time 0:00, but then in the video editing software of your choice simply edit the video down to the start time you'd choose.
