Exporting your animation
You will now export your animation as an Mpeg4 video i le. Mpeg4 is the i le format
frequently used for web video (although it is used elsewhere as well); it is particularly well
supported for use in HTML5 video and Apple's iOS operating system on the iPod and iPad.

Choose File > Export > Render Video. You might see an Initialize Video progress
bar appear: this is Photoshop preparing the video for export. Since this lesson is a basic
introduction to the possibilities of using 3D and video, you will leave the settings in the
Render Video at their default values. If you are a video professional, you will i nd that
many of the features that you need to output a quality video are in this dialog box.
Note that based upon the speed of your computer, this render make take a few
minutes; you might want to return to this step at the end of the lesson.

The name
ps1301_work.mp4
should be listed in the Name text i eld; if not, type it

Leave the settings at Adobe Media Encoder, which is a dedicated application in
Adobe's Creative Suite for exporting and compressing video.
There are a number of options here you could choose to modify, including the
document size, the frame rate, and more. Many of these are familiar to you if you have
previously worked in digital video. Although it falls outside the scope of this lesson to
discuss each of these options in depth, the last setting, 3D Quality, is worth discussing.
