Whenever I run a viewport render animation by clicking View->Viewport Render Animation in Blender 2.93.5, the files are written to disk in the '/tmp/' folder, but they are not loaded into blender for playback.

I don't really want to have to write out a .mov every time and load it in quicktime. I see video tutorials where the resulting render automatically pops up.

What am I missing?

You can use Render > View Animation and the animation will pop-up:

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks. Any reason why the animation is 1/4 the size of the window? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ 1920x1080 at 100%. Looks fine when I open up an image. Something specific to the Blender animation player. $\endgroup$
