      <p class="para_topic">Create Animation allows you to produce High Quality Image rendered MPEG movies of your NX part. The process is relatively easy, and basically involves your specifying a series of key frames, each with a view orientation that establishes a flight path, or animation trajectory, through the part. You can use Zoom, Pan, Rotate, and Navigate to orient the view for each key frame.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">You can preview animations you create from within Unigraphics NX. You can externally view MPEG animations using a movie player program that supports the MPEG file format, and you can view GIF89a animations using a web browser that supports GIF animation files.</p>
