4 In the Output Size group, set other rendering parameters or use the
defaults.
5 In the Render Output group, click Files.
6 On the
Render Output File dialog on page 5892 , specify a location, name,
and a type for the animation file, and then click Save.
Typically, a dialog appears that lets you configure options for the chosen
file format. Change settings or accept the defaults, and then click OK to
continue.
The Save File check box turns on.
7 Click the Render button at the bottom of the dialog.
NOTE If you set a time range and do not specify a file to save to, the
animation is rendered only to the window. This can be a time-consuming
mistake, so an alert warns you about it.
TIP Once you have rendered the animation this way, you can render it
again without using the dialog by clicking Quick Render.
