Stupid question....

Hi. I went from a mac to a PC and there's something that I'm confused about. If I have a collection of images in my images folder, I'm put them all into fCheck, how do I save them as a movie instead of 100 seperate files or whatever. On the mac, you said File -> Save as Movie

but on the PC there isn't an option like that. Is the only way to get a movie to do the AVI thing? I just got done watching the render video about batch rendering and stuff and I'm just stuck with this one and I was hoping you guys could help.

Saving to a quicktime movie is only possible with Macs. You can use a tool like AfterEffects to render your image sequence to a movie.

What's AfterEffects? Sorry I'm sort of a noob in this kind of area. I don't really care what format it's in I just don't want a jumble of images I want a movie of some sorts. Exactly what you see in fCheck expept a file.

After Effects is a compositing tool for motion graphics and effects; you can use it to take your images and make them into a movie file. You can learn about the tool here.

If you don't have access to AfterEffects, there are other tools you can use. Try this one

Thanks, the monkey one is pretty good. I think it might be worse quality than fCheck but I can't tell because it might just be slow 'cus I have a batch render going. Another annoying thing is that monkeyjam only takes jPegs so I'm re-rendering my scene, but it's only 200 frames so no big. I think I'll try the Maya AVI and just see how that looks once I finish with this batch render.
