00:00.590 --> 00:05.450
Welcome to creating a video of your animation in this video.

00:05.450 --> 00:08.320
You'll be introduced to the video editor.

00:08.510 --> 00:15.990
Combine your rendered images into a final video explore the various exporting options.

00:16.790 --> 00:21.330
And export your images to a movie file.

00:21.410 --> 00:24.210
So let's hop straight on over into blender.

00:26.700 --> 00:34.650
So over in blender we've got our lamp or rendered up and we have a series of pictures in a folder on

00:34.680 --> 00:35.830
our computer.

00:36.090 --> 00:43.500
So the first thing I'm going to do is go to the very top of the info header just here and where it says

00:43.830 --> 00:47.070
well I've got mine title blender guide you may have your set.

00:47.070 --> 00:48.870
The fault still.

00:48.900 --> 00:52.240
I would like you to switch it to video editing.

00:52.350 --> 00:56.190
Now there are a few things that will appear in here.

00:56.190 --> 01:00.390
This here is the graph Ed we're going to ignore that.

01:00.750 --> 01:03.250
But we're going to be focussed down here.

01:03.990 --> 01:12.900
So looking down here this is the video editor and it is this option here which is the sequencer.

01:13.700 --> 01:20.090
The next one along is the image preview which is this area up on the top right.

01:20.090 --> 01:23.240
These are both the same window just a different view.

01:23.840 --> 01:30.410
So then at the bottom here we need to make sure our start and end are set to the right amounts and that

01:30.410 --> 01:34.100
at the moment it's set to 40 it needs to be up at 20.

01:34.190 --> 01:36.230
So that's that bit done.

01:36.350 --> 01:38.380
Now we need to go to add.

01:38.840 --> 01:42.130
And when we go to add we need to select image.

01:42.260 --> 01:45.930
Now you'll need to navigate to where your images are stored.

01:46.220 --> 01:49.160
I'm going to go find my animated lamp.

01:49.340 --> 01:53.950
So we'll have all of our PND that we've got in front of us here.

01:54.340 --> 01:59.230
And I want to select the last first one and the last one and everything in between.

01:59.240 --> 02:01.390
You can also press the A key twice.

02:01.400 --> 02:04.120
Now I've got a couple of gifs in my folder as well.

02:04.220 --> 02:08.300
So I just want to unselect those from our selection.

02:08.450 --> 02:13.590
So we've got zero to one hundred and twenty perfect ad image strip.

02:13.590 --> 02:15.150
Just want to click this button here.

02:16.210 --> 02:16.840
And there we go.

02:16.840 --> 02:20.330
They have been added to our.

02:22.580 --> 02:24.010
Sequencer down here.

02:24.200 --> 02:30.260
Now it looks like at the moment they're being added far too late so I can just click this with the right

02:30.260 --> 02:31.150
mouse button.

02:31.190 --> 02:37.250
Just like everything else in blender and move it around when that's back down at zero I can left click

02:37.250 --> 02:38.840
to playsets.

02:38.950 --> 02:45.990
And if we run through that scrub through there we can see that our animation is playing in the top right.

02:46.100 --> 02:47.650
Perfect.

02:47.810 --> 02:54.140
Now that we've done that we can go back over to the 3D edit of view.

02:54.140 --> 02:56.510
So I'm just going to go back to my blender guide.

02:56.900 --> 03:02.330
Okay so fast forward now to a slight place in the future because we jumped a couple of versions to version

03:02.330 --> 03:06.320
two point seven nine because something has changed with the video settings.

03:06.320 --> 03:11.570
So what we need to do now after we've rented out all of those images now the images themselves they're

03:11.570 --> 03:12.320
safe.

03:12.320 --> 03:17.420
That's great it means that if we need to rerented a part of a sequence we can do that and we haven't

03:17.420 --> 03:20.420
needed to worry about any corruption of video settings.

03:20.420 --> 03:27.690
Now what we can do here is go down to where it says PRNG So we've rendered out our Arma images.

03:27.740 --> 03:31.040
I'm going to switch that now these settings are the ones that are different.

03:31.160 --> 03:34.260
Now we need to pick f f MPEG video.

03:34.310 --> 03:36.180
It's a versatile way as it says.

03:36.320 --> 03:38.310
And then we go down to the encoding settings.

03:38.320 --> 03:43.850
Now I'm going to just pick up a preset and I'm going to go to h 2 6 4 in.

03:43.850 --> 03:47.950
MP for now while we are using vats and we're not going to change anything else.

03:48.020 --> 03:53.810
Using this will mean it's going to be available and it's going to be playable on many many platforms

03:53.840 --> 03:57.440
which is great because you want to share the work that you're doing.

03:57.440 --> 04:01.250
Finally I'm just going to check where I'm outputting this and I'm happy with that.

04:01.250 --> 04:05.750
Now that's slightly different to where we were outputting before simply because I want to go and grab

04:05.750 --> 04:08.490
it and show you guys once it's rendered.

04:08.540 --> 04:15.080
Now as you probably appreciated it's taken a long time to get to this point so we don't want a renders

04:15.080 --> 04:16.830
to fail or anything along those lines.

04:16.970 --> 04:23.360
But you'll see when we render in a second when we go to render and render animation this time it goes

04:23.360 --> 04:29.390
through this a slide show like but it's going through really easily and quickly far quicker than it

04:29.390 --> 04:35.780
did before and that's because it's rendering out those images and it's not rendering outside the actual

04:35.810 --> 04:38.280
rendering with all the 3-d in it before so.

04:38.310 --> 04:43.930
Just in all of those images into one place now I need to go of course and go and grab that video is

04:43.940 --> 04:47.890
going to open up on my other screen I'm going to bring it across and there we go.

04:47.900 --> 04:53.060
Perfect So we've generated that really easily I'll just press play again so we can see it going through

04:53.470 --> 04:55.020
a cross it goes.

04:55.040 --> 05:01.010
So there's a slight change for you in version two point seven nine and now of course it's time for your

05:01.010 --> 05:01.920
challenge.

05:03.930 --> 05:10.470
Final challenge for the section unlikely to create your 5 second video so export your pictures to a

05:10.470 --> 05:14.590
video and share with everybody in the discussions.

05:14.640 --> 05:18.470
Of course one of the questions you might have is how do we get more video into the discussions.

05:18.600 --> 05:23.580
Well one of the best ways would be to upload it to somewhere like YouTube and then embed the that you've

05:23.580 --> 05:28.320
got a little share link when you do that and you can share that on the forum and it will play within

05:28.320 --> 05:29.360
your post.

05:29.370 --> 05:34.060
Obviously you can also upload it directly to Facebook if you're part of the Facebook group.

05:34.070 --> 05:38.660
So I look forward to seeing your work and I will see you in the next lecture.
