Alien Abduction Lesson Question

Collaborations

Hi, I'm not sure how to export my file after finishing your tutorial.

Do I re-render?

What are my export options/

I'd like to post this on LInkedin but not sure how to export.


Thanks.

Julie

    export would be used to transfer your mesh out of Blender to an fbx or obj, etc. file (these options are found "file/ export")

    the answer to your question seems to me  that you need to find where the render got saved to or as you mentioned rerender to a known location

    hope this helps

    jjuliepop11 did you accidentally plug in the Alpha from your image?

    Please share a screenshot, so we might be able to see what is wrong.

    Hey jjuliepop11 ,

    I'm a bit late to the party, I hope you solved your problem.

    Once you finish compositing you will need to render an animation.

    For an mp4 video, go to the output properties, under output select FFmpeg Video as the file format, then under encoding select MPEG-4 for the container , then H.264 for the video codec, or you can select from the presets (green circle)

     

    Then render an animation , this will save to your temporary folder. if you wish to save to a specific location on your computer click the folder icon and select a location on your hard drive.

    You can then post the video any where you like.

    Sorry it took so long to get the answer. You probably figured it out already.
