Set up the Rendering Options
6. Use the following values to have a correctly encoded video.
- Framerate: we highly recommend to use a framerate of 30 or 60 (60 requires more performance). To avoid lag and glitches all the footage of a project should have the same amount of fps.
- Output: FFmpeg
- Container: Quicktime
- Codec: H264
- Keyframe Interval: 5
- Audio Codec: AAC
Export
Once the right values are set up we just need to:
7. Import the footage (simply drag and drop from the folder to the timeline). (A)
8. Set a start and an end frame. (B)
9. Set output folder and file name. (C)
10. Click on Animate to start the render. (D)
