Can you Render to a .mov or .avi file?

Many people ask us whether we can render their final product directly to a .mov, avi or other animation formats. Unfortunatly we do not support this right now. Like all other commercial render farms we only output to image sequences. If you launch a 1000 frame animation and are outputting to a .mov file and frame 999 fails, then you have to restart the entire animation from the beginning. On the other hand, rendering to a sequence and frame 999 fails, you only have to re-queue that one frame. This is a far better solution and have proven to be the most effecient way of rendering. After you download your sequence you can import it into your favorite compositing software; such as Nuke or After Effects. We do not offically support compositing, but we would still be happy to answer any questions you might have in regards to this procedure.

Thanks and Happy Rendering!
