Rendering an animation as an image sequence
We are now ready to start rendering our animation, including the compositing, to a PNG image sequence. Let's do this now:
- Click the Render drop-down menu at the top of the interface.
- Select Render Animation from the drop-down menu to begin the render process:

The rendering process can take quite some time, depending on your hardware. Making use of a GPU will drastically decrease your render time. Each frame will be rendered as a PNG sill image.
In the next section, we will convert the image sequence into an MP4 video file.
