 {{#indexentry:Animation, real-time raytracing}}
 <p class="BeAware">The version 3.7 release of POV-Ray contains a provisional implementation of a real-time raytracing feature. In addition to this, there are two related features that also are provided for testing purposes: clockless animation and video capture.</p>
@@ Line 174: / Line 174: @@
 <p class="Note"><strong>Note:</strong> Currently, it is not possible to save the rendered RTR output to disk. We will provide this as an option if we keep RTR in POV-Ray. Also, the current implementation does not provide any means of synchronising the camera selection with time; that is, if the frame rate changes (as it will tend to do if camera motion reveals or hides items that can slow down the render), the relative rate of camera motion will also change. If RTR turns out to be popular enough, we might investigate the possibility of the camera selection being keyed by elapsed time rather than frame count. This would allow a more consistent rate of motion at the expense of possibly having 'jerky' output if the render slows down.</p>
 {{#indexentry:Animation, clockless}}
 <p>Clockless Animation is a very specific form of POV-Ray's animation feature set which allows a series of images to be rendered without re-parsing the scene file. Traditionally the <code>clock</code> variable is used to control animation scene content. For this to work as expected, it is necessary to re-parse the scene file. As the aim of clockless animation is to avoid such re-parsing, the clock is not able to be used in its normal manner; it is from this fact that the feature name derives. Note also that, in addition to not re-parsing the scene file, neither is the scene re-bounded. This implies that no finite objects may move between frames of the render. Clockless Animation enforces this by not providing any means to do so.</p>
@@ Line 184: / Line 184: @@
 <p>Currently, the use of clockless animation is limited to the real-time-raytracing feature. However it is intended to expand its scope to normal rendering as well.</p>
 {{#indexentry:Animation, video capture}}
 <p class="Note"><strong>Note:</strong> Video Capture under Windows is currently disabled due to stability issues. Since this is a <em>windows only</em> feature, this means that no current official POV-Ray release has video capture. However the infrastructure is still in place and the below documentation will remain as it will eventually be re-enabled.</p>
