Once you have previewed your animation and are satisifed with it, you can record it to an *.avi file which can be played using any digital media application that supports the *.avi file format, such as Windows Media Player.
To export an animation to a file:
Select Tools
> Animation > Export Animation to File, or click the Export
Animation to File button on the Animation toolbar.
In the Export Animation to File dialog, click Record. The animation begins recording.
When the animation has stopped, click Close.
Note: By default, animations take the name of the project and are saved in the Projects directory. If you want to create more than one animation in the same project, you will need to change the file name before exporting the next animation. See Editing the Name or Location of the Animation Output File.
