Progress Render

This rendered video will not be the final animation but contains the animations that will be used. The rendering of these animations can be done in different ways, it can be rendered straight out as an .avi file but this is very risky and the quality is somewhat flawed, that's because .avi files will go on to be compressed twice therefore lowering quality. A way around this is to render each frame as a single .bmp or .jpeg. this will take up more space but makes it possible to resume rendering from any frame if the computer crashes. For example; there is 1200 frames in a single animation and it crashes at frame 967 and it has taken 5 hours to get to that point.You can then start a new render at frame 968 without loosing any footage. I have made the mistake of rendering each section of animation out as a .avi so the quality is not what it should be in this video.
