How do you publish a movie in adobe after effects?

Answer 1

On the top bar there is a tab called "Composition". Under composition, select "Make movie". This will open up a rendering tab where your timeline is. You can adjust the quality and where it sends the actually file, but the default is High quality and save on desktop. Click render to start. It will go through the process of rendering all the layers into the file you want. Depending on where you selected it to save to, check their and you should have a file named whatever you named your project! You can also select "pre-render" under the composition tab for other results.
