1
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,560
So now we've gone through everything 

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,080
we need to do to get to
 our final sequence.

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,840
Let's now go ahead
 and add this composition

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,360
to our render queue
 to generate a final file.

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,640
So to do this with your composition

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,480
selected, head up to composition

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,640
and add to render queue.

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,520
Within this dialog box,
 you'll find multiple different things

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,200
you can click on, such as render
 settings, output module and output to.

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,880
Let's start with Output to, and this is
 where we're going to save our file.

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,720
So I've already set up
 where I want my file to go to, I'm

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:57,720
going to call it final comp.

13
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,360
Then underneath output module,
 this is where we select

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,400
all of our rendering settings
 so let's click on Lossless now

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,360
and we'll go through a few
 of the things we can change.

16
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,080
first of all, it's our format 

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,800
and our post render action, so post
 render action that's going to be set

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:21,280
some to non and for format
 I'm going to change that to QuickTime.

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,360
And then on the format options, here
 is just where we can change our codecs

20
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,240
and when I click on the format options
 and change the video codec

21
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:38,360
to prores422 rather than animation.

22
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,920
There are lots of other options
 that you could do here, including AVI

23
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,880
and MP3, if you could just exporting
 your music, PNG sequence.

24
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,800
So just like in things
 like Premiere and Photoshop,

25
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,400
you've got your alternatives here. 

26
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,080
So I can click OK once I'm happy
 with all of this and then all I'd have to

27
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:04,040
do is hit render just on this
 right on side to generate that final file.

28
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,760
Let's show you one other way in
 which you can render out your final video.

29
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:16,000
Delete that from our render queue head
 both the composition. Head to Composition, 

30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,600
this time, I'm going to add it 

31
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:25,640
to the Adobe Media Encoder Queue instead
 so let's click that.

32
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:27,720
So here we go and new dialog

33
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,440
box is opened up in media encoder,
 showing us that it's a composition one.

34
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,160
So again, this is our output. 

35
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,800
I'm sure a lot of you will already
 be familiar with media encoder.

36
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,160
So let's go through it quickly. 

37
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:44,080
Click on our output
 destination here again.

38
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,200
Change the title 

39
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,040
change where we want wanted to go to. 

40
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,360
Click our folder. 

41
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,080
Then H.264 works for me
 at a high bit rate,

42
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,800
and then I'll simply hit the go button

43
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,880
to start the render queue going. 

44
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:20,080
And here we go. That has already
 exported. So let's head

45
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,760
to where we've saved
 that it to in our exports

46
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:30,320
final comp and play it back.

47
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,720
Here we go. Our final video
 all rendered out

48
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,280
ready for final use.

49
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,960
There are a few other settings
 that you might want to be aware of

50
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,360
when you're rendering your footage out
 so lets head to our render queue again

51
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,240
and click on Lossless
 and you can see the video outputs here.

52
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,280
It's set to RGB, now 

53
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,240
if you're wanting to render something out
 with a transparent background

54
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,560
like we saw in previous tutorials, 

55
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,520
you need to change your channel
 to RGB plus alpha.

56
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:11,000
That can only happen
 when you have a certain codec selected.

57
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,280
So if I choose a QuickTime codec, I'm

58
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,280
unable to check RGB Plus Alpha.

59
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:21,040
So as always, ensure
 that you speak with your clients,

60
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,200
speak with your producers and understand
 exactly what's needed

61
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:30,320
for your final render before going ahead
 and rendering out your final file.

62
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,560
Thanks for watching, and I hope you've enjoyed this after effects tutorial series.
