dynamic paint not showing up in render

Hi. Here is a video of my issue. I thought my settings were correct to not have this issue but maybe I am missing something else? Not sure if I need to bake but my image just turns white. The output layers are not red for the canvas. Any advice if you know about dynamic paint? This is my first time experimenting after these lessons.

    I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you have to bake it for single image rendering.

    I think that is what I did 25 seconds in the video or is there another way to bake for this? Anyway I have another issue to solve before getting back to that issue. I opened up the file again and now the paint is gone, not sure if I need to start over and animate the brushes again or if the data is stored somewhere still. This probably happened after not being sure about how to bake and save properly before closing blender I guess.

    I am pretty sure the Bake went wrong; look at this:

    Blender probably Baked it to a temp file, the Cache field is empty.

    If you didn't close your computer, maybe you can still find the Baked Data in your Tmp Folder (or however that is called on your machine), otherwise you'll have to re-do things.

    And make sure everything works, before closing Blender.

    Ok so I’ll just redo it but on a smaller scale first to make sure I get the rendering process. What about the image sequence thing is that what I need to do when using dynamic paint? That’s just a tab somewhere to mess with those settings then I can hit bake normally? I did bake it at first but it wouldn’t playback properly as seen. But once I figure that out and bake it then I can close and reopen and be safe? I don’t think the mentor mentioned these steps just that I need to save the file before baking I think.
