Goal: Render out the animation to a video file.

⬆️ The goal now is to render out the animation into a video file. ⬆️
🚨 In a future course, we will learn how to render out animation into image sequences.
- 🚨 This is important because it allows us to render individual frames and is more stable during the rendering process. Rendering can take hours, days, months.
- 🚨 For now - we are going to keep it simple and use a .mp4 render output.
- 🚨.mp4 is useful for basic test animations and previz animations. Renders that do not take long.
- 🚨 Don't make .mp4 a long term habit for long renders.
Set the output properties

- Go to output properties, scroll down. ⬆️

- Change the output path ⬆️
- 🚨 “//” is a relative path, meaning it will put the video file where ever you have your project directory. 🚨

- Mpeg Video for .mp4 ⬆️

- Presets ⬆️

- H264 preset ⬆️

- High quality compression ⬆️

🚨 We do not need to do this step yet, but this is how we execute render animation settings into a video file. 🚨
- We will do this step later!
