Export 3DGS Reconstruction Result as a Video

In Aholo, you can quickly generate videos from reconstructed 3DGS objects or scenes for presentation, sharing, or content creation purposes.

By configuring opening effects, camera paths, and keyframes, you can easily produce cinematic-quality 3D videos. The detailed steps are as follows:

1. Create a Video

Open the project in Aholo that you want to use for video creation, then click “Video”.

2. Add An Opening Effect

You can add an opening effect to visualize the transition from a point cloud to a fully reconstructed 3D model.

Aholo provides three types of opening effects: Gradient Diffusion, Rainbow Burst, and Magic.

3. Set Camera Path

By configuring the camera path, you can control how the camera moves around the model to present different perspectives.

Aholo provides three camera path options: Orbit Path, Panorama Path, and Spiral Path.

Each path can be further customized using the following parameters:

Orbit Path

• Center Point: Adjust the center of the camera path

• Radius: Control the radius of the path

• Height: Adjust the camera height

• Start Angle: Set the starting camera angle

• Rotation Angle: Define the total rotation angle

Panorama Path

• Position: Adjust the camera position

• Start Yaw: Set the initial viewing direction

• Rotation Angle: Define the rotation angle

• Pitch Angle: Adjust the vertical tilt of the camera

Spiral Path

• Center Point: Adjust the center of the path

• Start Height: Set the starting height

• End Height: Set the ending height

• Start Radius: Define the initial radius

• End Radius: Define the final radius

• Start Angle: Set the starting angle

• Revolutions: Control the number of spiral turns

4. Add Keyframes

You can also add keyframes to refine the timeline and introduce additional viewpoints.

After adding keyframes, you can adjust the timeline duration by dragging the keyframes.

You can also directly enter a duration at the end of the timeline to modify the total length of the timeline.

Cameras added through keyframes can be individually adjusted in terms of position and orientation.

5. Video Loop

To create a seamless looping video, enable the loop option.

Aholo will automatically generate additional frames at the end of the video to smoothly connect the final frame back to the first.

6. Preview the Video

Click “Preview” to review the video before exporting.

During preview, you can choose from three aspect ratios: 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16.

7. Tips

For optimal results, consider the following recommendations:

• Use the Orbit path to showcase the overall structure of the model

• Add keyframes for close-up details and multiple perspectives

• Keep the video duration between 5–15 seconds for social media suitability

• Experiment with different aspect ratios (e.g. 9:16 for short-form platforms)

• Avoid overly fast camera movements to ensure smooth playback

8. Export and Share

Once your video is complete, click “Export” to render it as an MP4 file for presentation or sharing.

You can customize the resolution and frame rate during export.

Export Successful! Now you can:

• Share the video on social media platforms

• Use it for project presentations or portfolios

• Send it to clients or team members
