# 8. Exporting to video

By now you should have a nice animation of your own. It's time to make a video file of it. The first thing you need to do is to install a video encoder. If you have mplayer installed, you should already have one you can use.

Go to the Preferences menu (Settings->Configure qStopMotion (Ctrl-P)) and press the Video Export tab. You should now get a list of video export settings:

Figure 8.1 The video export preferences

Change the video export setting to the format, size and frame rate you like. When you have set up a video export setting you can close the Configure menu by pressing the OK button.

To export your animation to a video file just press File->Export->Video (Ctrl-Alt-V) and you should have a video file of your excellent animation. Tell your friends!
