The magnification factor to use for the saved animation.

1

FileName (FileName)

The name of the file to save the animation into.

FrameRate (FrameRate)

Get/Set the frame rate to use for saving the animation. This frame rate is the frame rate that gets saved in the movie file generated, if applicable.
