Need setting specialist in rendering Maya scene into a video clip

[beng83]

Hi everyone, I've just started learning Maya from my diploma course, so got a little problem encountered if any of you could perhaps gives me some help.

I learned how to use playblast function, but how do I use the rendering mode to render into an avi video clip? Been twisting around with the settings but doesn't work. Does anyone knows how the settings should be to render into video clip?

Need some expertise from you guys, thanks in advance.

Hey there,

When rendering an animation sequence out of maya you generally render out as an image sequence and then import that image sequence into an app like After Effects and render out to a avi.

Hi there millies.

I see, so that is how its done, I thought it will be like 3ds Max where you can immediately render out as video file, shall try your method later, thanks alot ^^

Using maya software you can render it direct to .mov* and convert to another format. but i dont advise you to do so... its better and more safe to render each frame and then compose it as millies45 said, doing a batch render (F6 -> Render -> Batch render).
