Subtitles of the Movie

Now it's time to make a final render of our composition and what we're going to do is we're going to go to our composition menu and we're going to add this project to the render queue. So let me go ahead and move this up. What I'm going to do is output this to my Desktop and I'm going to make it Nessie Movie or you can call it whatever you like and I'm going to save that and I'm going to choose my output module as a QuickTime movie, but of course you may render it to whatever format you'd like. I'm going to choose QuickTime as I mentioned earlier, but you might want to use the Adobe Flash format. If you're on a PC, you might want to use the AVI format. So I'm going to leave everything else at the defaults and having done all that, I'm simply going to hit the good, old render button and we'll just give it a little time to make a final movie for us, keeping our eye on the elapsed time and the estimated time remaining. And once it's all said and done, we'll have a QuickTime movie that we can actually watch and enjoy and see the final result of this project. So I'll give it a little bit more time to go. That's the funny thing about computers. You know, they're fast and faster so you would think that the rendering would go faster, which it does, but because we have so many more options and so much more power now, it kind of still slows the rendering process down a little bit. So I don't know if rendering is every really going to be really super-fast. I can only hope that that does occur one day because, you know, you can have a rendered scene take hours and in some cases, days for just a few frames. So we'll go ahead and wait just a little longer and I'll open up the QuickTime player so we can see the finished movie. OK. It's, well, we get the little sound that tells me it's done. Let me see if my QuickTime player is open. So, it's not. Let me go to my recent items and I will open up QuickTime player and I will then go to file, open and on my Desktop I'll open Nessie.mov and I'll press play. I hope you guys enjoyed this project and we'll take the puppet tool to new heights to create really cool animations and projects in After Effects.
