Welcome to creating a video of your animation in this video.
You'll be introduced to the video editor.
Combine your rendered images into a final video explore the various exporting options.
And export your images to a movie file.
So let's hop straight on over into blender.
So over in blender we've got our lamp or rendered up and we have a series of pictures in a folder on
our computer.
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
well I've got mine title blender guide you may have your set.
The fault still.
I would like you to switch it to video editing.
Now there are a few things that will appear in here.
This here is the graph Ed we're going to ignore that.
But we're going to be focussed down here.
So looking down here this is the video editor and it is this option here which is the sequencer.
The next one along is the image preview which is this area up on the top right.
These are both the same window just a different view.
So then at the bottom here we need to make sure our start and end are set to the right amounts and that
at the moment it's set to 40 it needs to be up at 20.
So that's that bit done.
Now we need to go to add.
And when we go to add we need to select image.
Now you'll need to navigate to where your images are stored.
I'm going to go find my animated lamp.
So we'll have all of our PND that we've got in front of us here.
And I want to select the last first one and the last one and everything in between.
You can also press the A key twice.
Now I've got a couple of gifs in my folder as well.
So I just want to unselect those from our selection.
So we've got zero to one hundred and twenty perfect ad image strip.
Just want to click this button here.
And there we go.
They have been added to our.
Sequencer down here.
Now it looks like at the moment they're being added far too late so I can just click this with the right
mouse button.
Just like everything else in blender and move it around when that's back down at zero I can left click
to playsets.
And if we run through that scrub through there we can see that our animation is playing in the top right.
Perfect.
Now that we've done that we can go back over to the 3D edit of view.
So I'm just going to go back to my blender guide.
Okay so fast forward now to a slight place in the future because we jumped a couple of versions to version
two point seven nine because something has changed with the video settings.
So what we need to do now after we've rented out all of those images now the images themselves they're
safe.
That's great it means that if we need to rerented a part of a sequence we can do that and we haven't
needed to worry about any corruption of video settings.
Now what we can do here is go down to where it says PRNG So we've rendered out our Arma images.
I'm going to switch that now these settings are the ones that are different.
Now we need to pick f f MPEG video.
It's a versatile way as it says.
And then we go down to the encoding settings.
Now I'm going to just pick up a preset and I'm going to go to h 2 6 4 in.
MP for now while we are using vats and we're not going to change anything else.
Using this will mean it's going to be available and it's going to be playable on many many platforms
which is great because you want to share the work that you're doing.
Finally I'm just going to check where I'm outputting this and I'm happy with that.
Now that's slightly different to where we were outputting before simply because I want to go and grab
it and show you guys once it's rendered.
Now as you probably appreciated it's taken a long time to get to this point so we don't want a renders
to fail or anything along those lines.
But you'll see when we render in a second when we go to render and render animation this time it goes
through this a slide show like but it's going through really easily and quickly far quicker than it
did before and that's because it's rendering out those images and it's not rendering outside the actual
rendering with all the 3-d in it before so.
Just in all of those images into one place now I need to go of course and go and grab that video is
going to open up on my other screen I'm going to bring it across and there we go.
Perfect So we've generated that really easily I'll just press play again so we can see it going through
a cross it goes.
So there's a slight change for you in version two point seven nine and now of course it's time for your
challenge.
Final challenge for the section unlikely to create your 5 second video so export your pictures to a
video and share with everybody in the discussions.
Of course one of the questions you might have is how do we get more video into the discussions.
Well one of the best ways would be to upload it to somewhere like YouTube and then embed the that you've
got a little share link when you do that and you can share that on the forum and it will play within
your post.
Obviously you can also upload it directly to Facebook if you're part of the Facebook group.
So I look forward to seeing your work and I will see you in the next lecture.
