Hi, I know this is probably easy, but I can't find how to render an animation in Houdini FX 16.5.473 and I need to render out a 90 frame scene. I have tried using the flip-book, doing “render to disk” (which just sits for a long time and doesn't hardly advance at all), and every combo that I can find a and figure out in the mantra render node, camera, and disk render settings. Please help. Here is my hip file:

Much thanks!

no file attached.
you should have a read through this:
https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/render/render.html [www.sidefx.com]
esp the section ‘Setting up a render node’
- “Set whether to render a single frame or animation”

If it's only for visualization porpuses you could export it from the flipbook in mpg4, otherwise i guess you will need to export a sequence of frames and then use a comp softwate to write it out as clip

Perfect! I knew I was missing something fairly obvious.

Thank you @goldfarb.
