Render Video

This entry takes from Blender Guru's quick tip on rendering videos.  For the full video click here:

This entry focuses just on compositing the rendered images into a quicktime video using the Video Sequencer in Blender.  So the first step assumes that the images have already been captured (doesn't have to be Blender images, can be any jpgs or pngs).

The first step is to switch to the Video Editor view [Ctrl + LEFT].


In this view, select Add then Image.

In the dialog box select all the images related to the video sequence [A] then select Add Image Strip.

At this point the image strip should be available in the timeline.  You may have to move the image sequence so that it starts at frame 1 or 0. Set the ending time of the animation to be the same as the last frame in the image sequence.

Now back in the standard view, you can adjust the animation render properties (as below) and render a new animation.  These settings will publish a quicktime .MOV.
