    I have a simple scene where I am trying to capture some video of our logo.

    The recorder does not seem to apply the PP effects on the camera when recording.

    When I run the scene, the PPV shows up just fine. It also shows up just fine in the editor when enabled.

    Is there some trick I am missing to make sure the recorder captures PPV?

    Hi @anomalousinteractive! Unfortunately this looks like a bug with the Recorder in "Target Camera" mode with URP.

    If possible in your situation, could you try changing the Recorder's "Capture" mode to "Game View" instead? I just ran some tests and it looks like the Post-processing is properly applied in that mode. If you only have one camera in your scene you should be able to get the same result as "Target Camera" right away.

    This is definitely not the expected behavior though, I've logged this bug for our team to investigate further.

    Cheers!

    Hi thanks for that. setting it to gameview did allow for PP to be captured correctly.

    However I have identified additional bugs:

    • Targeted Camera does not capture alpha when enabled to do so. The result image open in photoshop shows no alpha channel whatsoever

    • Setting the TargetedCamera to Main Camera of Active Camera results in nothing being captured, even when there is only 1 camera in scene

    Please help, we very much require Alpha for our marketing materials.

    Unity 2020.1 still has the same issue. Unfortunately for me switching to Game View doesn't work because I have multiple cinamchine cameras.

    I have to record 360 View video and has the same issue. I tried some other recorders from asset store but none of them recording post processing. But game view works on 2019.3.14f1.

    GIF export has been removed from Recorder since 3.0.0-pre.1 for multiple reasons: maintaining legacy code, low usage, and the possibility of doing this using other tools.

    I can't recommend other tools but if you look for MP4 to GIF in your favourite search engine, you'll get a nudge in the right direction.
    Some solutions exist online, others are command line tools.

    When recording from an empty project in URP with just recorder package added - the output still doesn't have alpha, turning post-process off doesn't change that.

    Empty 3D project (non-URP), however, outputs with alpha.

    Please post a screenshot of your Recorder settings (codec, source, checkboxes)

    I believe this bug or one like it is still around in Unity 2020.3.24. I’m making a 2.5D game and trying to record a sprite of a volumetric line laser blast (from the unity package example), using image sequence, targeted camera and “include alpha” checked (I need a transparent background, of course). The glow does not get captured, only the solid white line at the center.

    Not fixed, 360 mode image sequence doesn't include post processing.
