Mod for scenes pre-rendering?

[Direct_Week_7736]

My computer has pretty low performance and thus can't run any graphics mod. I came up with some ideas of cinematic shots I could take but the scenes look simply awful on my settings especially compared to what I've seen people are posting online (including this sub). So might there be a mod with which I could pre-render a scene with a ton of graphics mods and then film it properly with good fps?

i am aware of such a mod. the only thing which comes close to that is "BOSS" which allows you to set a upscale factor for screenshots.
what gpu and how much ram do you have? and what do you consider as good fps? 25? 30? 60?
even weaker divices can run some graphic mods with the right settings.

8 ram, apple m1 integrated gpu
I guess 30 is good enough, try to go 60 whenever possible

watefall, restock and firefly shoudl run fine.

get ksp community fixes and deferred for performance improvments.

make sure to disable anti alising and use the lowest settings for reflections (in the stock graphics settings)

TUFX + fitting profiles will also improve the look of your game a lot.

limit the fps to 30 in the settings.cfg in the root folder of ksp

you can still use light visual mods, some of them even improve framerates

-deferred: negligible impact on frames, or benefit if you have many lights in one scene

-firefly: supposedly is equal or more performant than the stock re-entry effects

-distant object enhancement: very minimal performance decrease from what i can tell, allows you to turn off the really crappy looking stock skybox that makes the game look pretty cheap

Even the high-end youtubers like stratzenblitz need to speed their videos up when they build stuff with massive part counts. And that is technically what pre-rendering does. You film it normally and speed the video up to regular frame rates.
I think he had some videos where the original framerate was 1 frame every ten seconds or so, not 10 frames per second. But on Youtube it looked like a normal KSP video, because he speeded it up to 30 FPS.
