Hi Finis , here a vid for the setings for film and music

Draise to the rescue! Denoiser, yes. For finished products I'll do stills like you said. Videos for tests. So that's mpeg4 and h.264 on the Render Panel - Encoding section. What about the thing in the Output section next to BW/RGB? What would you select there for video file output?

Just RGB for red, green, blue. If you want transparency, you'd have to render out as *.png sequences and turn on Film>Transparent

I do prefer working in Bforartists myself, it's way quicker to learn and use than Blender (because it's less confusing with all the double entries everywhere in the original Blender).

New track for the Tornado Coaster. https://vid.me/beT4d That's Blender Render. About 40 minutes. I discovered opengl animation render on the 'render' menu (top of screen near 'file'). That rendered in 5 minutes. Good for these quick tests. I'll use this type of viewpoint instead of the typical first person view. First person doesn't show off the track well.

Thanks Draise. I meant the thing to the left of BW/RGB in the Output section where you can select avi, xvid, mpeg etc. I picked mpeg there, mpeg4 and h.264 in the Encoding section. Vidme was happy with that. I think the troublesome video Vidme didn't like was due to non-square pixels. It had numbers other than 1 in the aspect ratio boxes.

Thanks Pugman. I'm not using VSE though. Hitfilm Express is better for me for a finished product. For simple test renders like above I want it directly from the main part of Blender. No editing. I did use VSE for this https://vid.me/2jge.

I want to work on this and learn more Blender but too much real world stuff again.

Edit: Steinie wrote "I kind of wished the roller coaster entry was entered too." Proceed without me. I'll keep doing this project but it will be too long until I have anything worthy to enter.
