3. Load and preview the scene in Vantage.

Go to File > Open Scene to load the exported .vrscene in Vantage. Click the Play(Vantage_Bottom_Bar_PlayAnimation.png) button to preview the scene animation.

4. Import pre-made camera config (optional).

Go to File > Open Scene as Config Only to load previously created cameras and camera transitions. Modify transitions' durations and type as necessary.

5. Open HQ sequence render settings.

Set the render settings as desired. Enable Denoiser, Reduce flickering and keep a small Samples limit to produce a faster yet clean rendering. Increase Samples limit and disable Reduce flickering for cleaner and sharper result. Click Start to begin rendering the previz animation.
