Saving the movie

The Save Movie box offers five options: Save current frame as image, Save movie as AVI, Save movie as QuickTime, Save movie as numbered files, and Save movie as GIF animation. I usually save as uncompressed AVI movies at 10 frames per second or as numbered files. I find that these options give me the most flexibility using the output movie.

The final movie

My movie is now complete and ready for any post work, combining, converting and so on. You won’t be able to see the Painter interface in the saved movie – all that’s recorded is the image itself being painted.
