Export animation renders the RIGHT way in Blender!

Blender Output Settings Explained Step-by-Step!

This beginner tutorial for Blender animation output settings will cover exporting your animation in Blender step-by-step. Blender's render settings and output settings need to be understood in order export your final Blender animation correctly. I'll also show you how to render an animation in Blender with a transparent background (alpha channel).

Rendering a final animation in Blender frame-by-frame using .png files as the output file format is better than rendering an animation directly using FFMPEG or other file formats. I cover Blender time re-mapping, Blender resolution settings, transparent backgrounds, alpha channels, frame step, frame rate, the Blender video sequence editor, video codec, video container and more.

This is a Blender animation tutorial for absolute beginners that covers the basics of exporting your animations, output settings, render settings for both Eevee and Cycles. Plus I'll show you how to render an animation with a transparent background.

I'm here 3 years after the posting of this video to tell you that you're still helping people - thank you!

[willsonadjovi]

I have never seen such a methodological and complete I learnt everything about the output settings ...😍

[zedzara]

if anyone out there gets the error message "Border rendering is not supported by sequencer" after trying to render your edited animation,
there is a SIMPLE FIX:
-at Output Properties, make sure "Render Region" is NOT checked.
you're welcome

anyway thanks Brandon for the video!

I don't know if the video's creator will see this comment, but I have to say this is one of the most helpful videos I have ever seen in the whole 2 years of learning Blender. Not only does he explain things concisely and in all the needed detail, but he leaves out no information and honestly does better than any of my teachers at making this process clear to me. Thank you so much!!!

I subscribed, but I personally wanted to thank you for being the best damn instructor on Blender. There are a lot of knowledgeable people making video tutorial on Blender but the do not know the first thing about teaching. Give you an example, you actually edit your videos and show close-ups and move like you actually want the viewer to understand. I have been making video editing tutorials for years and I appreciate a great teacher. You are the best! I also visited your website and will visit often. Thanks again! Ron

Fantastic, ultra-clear tutorial video. Thank you immensely for sharing your knowledge.

Wow. Today was the first time I looked for a rendering video on YT after starting Blender. Thinking this was going to be ridiculously hard from what I've read online, you have gone through it in great detail, unlike numerous videos I have watched before on other stuff. That's what we need, someone to explain exactly what every aspect of this program does. Thank you, Brandon. I will no doubt be looking for more of your tutorials. Hopefully you've upgraded to 3.5 and will post more helpful info. Excellent, my friend. Thank you again.

im autistic so i really struggle understanding most tutorials. You were calm, to the point, and said all the necessary steps without babbling on. this is the first tutorial I have actually understood. thank you! :)

[fujtkrisztian]

I came to the conclusion that this video is literally perfect. I have saved it in a playlist like a year ago when I've found it and I still come back to it when I need help. Perfectly clear explanation, all topics covered, short and easy to navigate. Thank you so much man!

A tip for some people who might have encountered the same problem I did, If when you put the pics in the sequencer they are out of order and/or reversed, the order in the sequencer is changed by the way the pictures are ordered in the folder when they're selected. Before pressing A, click the "name" option in the file explorer blender pop-up to sort by name, if you did things right up to this step the pics are going to be numbered in order of first to last, this way they're imported to the sequencer from first to last.

[creativekaii]

Great stuff man wow!! Complete tutorials are rare with such clear and slow instructions. The way you explain every single step is awesome!

[powersprouter]

I'm absolutely loving your tutorials! So clear and concise. I'll stop commenting but looking forward to binging the entire collection and watching your uploads, thank you again.

[youngwoocho]

although it's 3 yrs ago, thank you so much for your tutorial. I've been struggling with this for a week and you finally helped me out. Thank you so much!

[swordsdancer]

Simple, detailed but not verbose, and practical. This was so helpful and much better than a lot of explanations and tutorials I've seen.

[ryashock]

Thank you for making this so to-the-point! So many channels make it about themselves, and not the content they're presenting. Was able to grasp the info quickly in this fashion.

[flamedphoenix]

Everytime I need to relearn this I come back to your video. It is very good at teaching when you forget how to do it thank you very much for your content and videos.

[davids]

Thank you! I am new to Blender, have watched MANY tutorials. Your style is the best I have seen. Clear, easy to understand, and I greatly appreciated how you not only explain each step but also provide your reasoning. Definitely subscribed.

[Remowylliams]

I didn't see it mentioned, but quicktime encoding can also handle alpha and the image file will be smaller. Great tutorial, the mapping settings I've never played with, that's super helpful.

[matejapanic]

Words cant describe how thankful i am for concise, straight to the point educational people like you.
Thanks for existing bro

(12:10) The "Placeholders" option comes in very handy when we save an animation rendered on more than one computer on the local network (home rendering farm). This informs other computers on the network about the image frame currently being created.
