Exporting to MP4 Video in Blender 2.8+'s Video Sequence Editor (03)

This short tutorial shows you how to export the results of your editing to a video file (.mp4), for sharing/uploading.
As a bonus, we also cover how to prevent a window from opening up while Blender is rendering.

Compared to other tutorials I've followed, yours is by far the most comprehensive and helpful!

Didn't know about the fact that you could actually hide the window, while rendering. That was useful! Thank you, Michael!

I've been searching for hours for a simple answer like this! Thankyou!

[lunarball]

Thank you for this! It really helped me out!

I was having trouble with the video refusing to render at first, but after reading one of your replies I figured out that the problem was that the file started out on 3d mode, and making a new, completely video editing file fixed it :)

Been trying to render my video all day, and you showed me the thing that worked! Awesome tutorial man.

Hello! This really helped with the rendering, and im trying to export it, but it only lets me export it aas a .blend file. How could i export it as an mp?

[sandikusnadi]

I'm using Blender 3.0.1 and followed all your settings. But somehow, my video clips become picture slideshow (the videos freeze). Any idea how can that happen?

[charlesgorvitch]

Thanks, what is your pc statistique? Eg: ram, graphic card because your render is very fast

[skyball]

Ok so i did everything and the audio works fine, but only certain parts of the video show, and some specific clips are just blank, does anyone know how I can fix it??

[livh]

After I do this and try to save it to my computer it just saves as a .blend file. I can’t get it to mp4

[shauryapalaparthy]

Umm... Whenever I try to play the video after rendering, the file is'nt playable. Fix?

Is it automatically uploaded to your files somehow?
