What the viewer shows and what the file contains are worth checking separately. This tutorial exports a six-second title animation from Video Composition and plays the finished movie.

Steps

  1. Open the motion export. In Video Composition, choose Deliver, then open Motion. Set Range to Whole Composition.
  2. Choose the format. Choose H.264 MP4, then check Resolution and Frame rate. This composition is 1920 by 1080 at 30 frames per second.
  3. Export. Leave Motion Blur off for this review and choose Export Motion Video.
  4. Watch the file. Play the exported movie through the whole movement. Check the first frame, the edges of the type and the final hold.
  5. Add sound in the edit. Composition exports are silent. Finish the soundtrack in your edit and keep the project for later changes.

Notes

  • H.264 does not carry an alpha channel, so the movie has a solid background.
  • The movie shown in the video is the real six-second export, labelled as such. It has no audio track; the music under this tutorial was added afterwards.
  • The photographs are generated assets from the TUSSENIN demonstration project, owned by Momentum Studios.
