Rendering the animation

To prepare for the next task—retiming the composition—you need to render the sunrise composition and export it as a movie.

1 Select the sunrise composition in the Project panel, and then choose Composition > Add To Render Queue. The Render Queue panel opens.

2 Choose Maximize Frame from the Render Queue panel menu to make the panel larger.

3 Accept the default Render Settings in the Render Queue panel, then click the orange, underlined words Not Yet Specified next to the Output To pop-up menu.

4 Navigate to the AECS5_CIB/Lessons/Lesson06/Assets folder, and name the file Lesson06_retime.avi (Windows) or Lesson06_retime.mov (Mac OS). Then click Save.

5 Expand the Output Module group, and then choose Import from the Post- Render Action menu. This will import the movie file when it’s done.

6 Hide the Output Module section.

7 Click the Render button in the Render Queue panel.

After Effects displays a progress bar as it renders and exports the composition, and plays an audio alert when it is finished. It also imports the resulting movie file into the project.

8 When After Effects has finished rendering and exporting the composition, choose Restore Frame Size from the Render Queue panel menu, and then close the Render Queue panel.
