1

00:00:05,980 --> 00:00:06,410

All right.



2

00:00:06,420 --> 00:00:15,090

Now that we've rendered all our images or frames into single images how do we combine those into an



3

00:00:15,090 --> 00:00:17,870

actual animation or movie.



4

00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:22,620

Well it's actually pretty simple using the video sequence editor.



5

00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,020

So let's go ahead and do that.



6

00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:30,150

And at the same time we'll take a look at what the video sequence editor is and what it's capable of.



7

00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:36,990

Now the only thing that you need to make sure of is that your settings are the same as they were before.



8

00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,120

I'm also going to make sure that I'm in cycles rendered just in case anything is different in the cycle's



9

00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,180

render than the blender one.



10

00:00:44,490 --> 00:00:49,760

Now you want to make sure that your resolution is the same size you're starting it and frames the same.



11

00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:57,320

So our end frame was 225 and the frames per second are the same as well.



12

00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:04,400

Now you can use the same file as the previous one you had before but I'm showing you if you had forgotten



13

00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:12,350

or if you didn't have open anymore or you didn't save it then you could still create an animation with



14

00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:16,430

the images that you've saved from a new blender file.



15

00:01:16,430 --> 00:01:20,260

Now with these settings change to how they were before.



16

00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:24,650

Let's go to the video sequence other bottom left over here.



17

00:01:24,890 --> 00:01:29,210

Change it from 3D view to video sequence Ed..



18

00:01:29,210 --> 00:01:37,460

Now here this is basically a place where you can add sound images movies and all sorts of different



19

00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:47,010

things to combine them into a certain sequence to overlay music with animation with images.



20

00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:53,650

And it's just a really really cool feature that blender has in order for you to be able to like I say



21

00:01:53,690 --> 00:01:59,670

combining different strips of different things such as strips of images as we're going to do right now.



22

00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:03,380

You can this is where you would add sound for your animation.



23

00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:10,610

This is where you could add certain movie clips if you want to put some movie clips in your animation



24

00:02:11,060 --> 00:02:13,090

and all kinds of different things.



25

00:02:13,250 --> 00:02:17,560

So for now we're just going to use it for the purpose that we need it for.



26

00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:21,910

And you could see that right here it's kind of like a timeline as well.



27

00:02:22,830 --> 00:02:32,860

But if we go to add and then go to image we could go to our folder where we saved our 250 or 225 images



28

00:02:32,860 --> 00:02:36,780

you can see that they're all here and single image format.



29

00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:38,540

This is our animation.



30

00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:46,450

If we had a way to select all the images and then add image strip you can see that now it's added this



31

00:02:46,570 --> 00:02:48,900

image Strip into our scene.



32

00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,170

Pretty cool.



33

00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:58,120

So now a way that you could actually see this is if you click on use backdrop right here you can actually



34

00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,870

see what image is being presented at that particular frame.



35

00:03:04,870 --> 00:03:13,960

So as we scroll through this we can see all our images that were rendered a movie over here.



36

00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,850

It's not yet a movie because we're still scrolling through it like we did before on our When we were



37

00:03:19,850 --> 00:03:21,510

in our 3-D viewport.



38

00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:30,710

But now we can actually turn it into a movie by just having blender put all these images together into



39

00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:32,580

a video format.



40

00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:39,140

So let's go ahead and uncheck use backdrop which is a really cool feature and we'll get more into the



41

00:03:39,140 --> 00:03:41,600

video sequence editor possibly later.



42

00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:49,430

But like I said you can add muu you could add movies you could add sounds and other kinds of strips



43

00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,920

you can have as many strips here as you want or as you need.



44

00:03:54,210 --> 00:03:55,730

Right now we only need this.



45

00:03:55,740 --> 00:04:04,650

So let's go ahead and finalize our movie project now going over here we are now going to change this



46

00:04:04,650 --> 00:04:12,120

from PMG because we don't want it to render as a as a image now because we already have the images but



47

00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,640

we want to render it as a video.



48

00:04:14,790 --> 00:04:22,140

So I believe the best one is like this video right here and actually not X video let's go with H.



49

00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,850

It was a vi RA I believe.



50

00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,190

Here we go H.



51

00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:34,110

Point 2 6 4 and then go down to coding.



52

00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:39,390

And we're going to leave the Kodak at eight point two six four and you could actually change it if you'd



53

00:04:39,390 --> 00:04:40,060

like.



54

00:04:40,170 --> 00:04:47,430

I you I usually like MPEG 4 and this will include the sound as well so let's go ahead and choose MPEG



55

00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:48,130

4.



56

00:04:48,420 --> 00:04:54,080

And the format right here we can leave it at a vi or play a quick time.



57

00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,280

Let's use Let's leave it as a vi for now.



58

00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:03,460

And so now we are ready to render this as a video format.



59

00:05:03,630 --> 00:05:10,740

But you could see where the power comes in this because we're rendering still images as a video format



60

00:05:11,070 --> 00:05:16,260

which is awesome because as you can see now this gives you much more control.



61

00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:24,480

Again if your animation had stopped at 200 210 frames and you were rendering it as a video originally



62

00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:26,300

you would have lost everything.



63

00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:32,960

But here you have these images and you could actually very easily convert them into a video.



64

00:05:33,210 --> 00:05:37,180

So let's go ahead and do that select the folder where you want the output to be.



65

00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:43,660

I'm going to put it in my stills folder just with the images there.



66

00:05:43,740 --> 00:05:47,290

And now with that all you have to do is go ahead.



67

00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:52,850

Let's click on used backdrops so that I believe it will show us what is happening.



68

00:05:53,010 --> 00:05:59,310

Actually it's not any more so let's just go ahead and click animation and it will render all of these



69

00:05:59,310 --> 00:06:01,760

still images and it will go much faster.



70

00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:08,130

So let's go ahead and click that as you can see it's moving through the frames at a very very rapid



71

00:06:08,130 --> 00:06:14,730

rate because it's not having to really render anything it's actually just composite in the final still



72

00:06:14,730 --> 00:06:16,840

images into a movie.



73

00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:24,810

And now if we take a look at where we rendered our movie which is mine is right here we open it up and



74

00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:29,040

you could see that we have a little animation going on.



75

00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,830

How awesome is that.



76

00:06:30,930 --> 00:06:35,330

So congrats on creating your first animation with Blender.



77

00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,280

And let's play that beautiful thing one more time.



78

00:06:40,470 --> 00:06:44,600

So you can see it's very simple but it's still pretty cool.



79

00:06:44,740 --> 00:06:52,380

And you know this is just the start of your adventures with Blender So we've learned all the basics



80

00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:56,990

that we needed or a lot of the basics not all on a lot of the basics for Blender.



81

00:06:57,060 --> 00:07:01,770

We use all the knowledge we had and created this little tiny short animation.



82

00:07:01,770 --> 00:07:07,860

Now you have a lot of the skills that you would need to create anything that you want.



83

00:07:07,950 --> 00:07:16,040

Of course with much larger productions and more complex scenes and animations it takes more skill.



84

00:07:16,050 --> 00:07:24,060

So we're going to get into some more advanced things very shortly but once again these are the basics



85

00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:34,680

and the fun fundamentals of animation modeling lighting and texturing and etc. so very well done on



86

00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,950

coming this far.



87

00:07:36,030 --> 00:07:39,050

And you know what let's keep going.



88

00:07:39,090 --> 00:07:45,260

You've come so far from knowing absolutely nothing to now creating an animation.



89

00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:49,500

So take pride in yourself and a little quote to end this off.



90

00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:55,020

And I don't remember exactly how the quote goes so I'll just say you know be happy with all the little



91

00:07:55,020 --> 00:08:00,510

things you might take a look at this and say oh yeah it's so simple but I see all these people making



92

00:08:00,510 --> 00:08:05,860

all these crazy awesome things and I just made this thing no.



93

00:08:05,910 --> 00:08:13,170

Take pride in every single little thing that you do every little accomplishment and give yourself that



94

00:08:13,170 --> 00:08:20,760

pride that pat on the back and acknowledge every tiny little step and advancement that you make towards



95

00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:26,010

your dreams towards your goals towards your blender art work towards your health towards everything.



96

00:08:26,030 --> 00:08:31,490

Acknowledge those little accomplishments and they will add up to monumental change.



97

00:08:31,710 --> 00:08:34,800

So with that I'll see you in the next tutorial.



98

00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,150

And great work so far.



99

00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,820

All right ladies and gentlemen look at this picture.



100

00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:44,000

I actually just went to Zion this past weekend.



101

00:08:44,010 --> 00:08:45,270

Beautiful place.



102

00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:48,620

So the quote for today is as follows.



103

00:08:48,780 --> 00:08:53,410

What gives while the other takes the latter thinks that that is how you get.



104

00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:59,070

But the first knows that it is in the giving that the getting takes place.



105

00:08:59,070 --> 00:09:01,430

All right that's love poem for you there.



106

00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,520

Hope you enjoy that one and give an abundance and you'll get back tenfold.



107

00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:07,620

All right see you in the next video.
