Render An Animation As Video In Blender
In Blender, it is a good idea to render your animation as an Image Sequence first before creating a video file. If you render it directly to a video file, you can’t stop or pause it, or you’ll get a corrupted file and have to render all of the frames all over again. Having an image sequence allows you to experiment with different video encoding formats and settings. Let’s explore the way to render an animation as video in Blender in today’s blog.

Step 1: Render your animation into image sequence
* Go to Blender’s Output Properties tab, then Output subtab

* Click on the folder icon to select where your rendered image sequence will be saved
* Under File Format, select PNG. If you plan to do a lot of post-production after render, go to OpenEXR or OpenEXR Multilayer

* Blender will now start rendering the scene frames one by one
* When the rendering is finished you will get numbered images according to the frame range you selected
Step 2: Convert your image sequence into video format
* To encode your rendered image sequence to video file, start a new Blender project and choose New > Video Editing

* Under Encoding > Container, select MPEG-4
* Under Video > Video Codec, select H.264
* On Blender’s top most menu, select Render > Render Animation (or press the shortcut Ctrl + F12)
=> The result of this will be a video file

iRender – The Best Cloud Rendering for Blender
iRender is a GPU-Acceleration Cloud Rendering Service that provides high performance computing with the latest GPUs (GeForce RTX 3090). The core difference between iRender compared to other render farms is our extremely unique solution – IaaS, completely different from the old SAAS solution, which is gradually revealing many limitations. In other words, this is a hardware service, not a software service, modern artists will choose a machine configuration to suit their design needs and requirements of the graphic software, subsequently have full authority to set up and control directly the remote machine through their own personal computer.
High-end hardware configuration
* Single and Multi-GPU servers: 1/2/4/6/8x RTX 3090. NVIDIA RTX 3090– the most powerful graphic card.
* 24 GB vRAMcapacity, fitting to the heaviest images and scenes.NVLink/SLIrequested for bigger vRAM.
* ARAMcapacity of128/256 GB.
* Storage (NVMe SSD):512GB/1TB/2TB.
* Intel Xeon W-2245orAMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3955WX CPUwith a high clock speed of3.90GHz.
