Repeat the four previous steps to add as many settings as you'd like to your Batch List.
Repeat the four previous steps to add as many settings as you'd like to your Batch List. I added two additional settings, one for Real Media, and one for Windows Media. Once you're happy with your list, you may want to save it. This is especially handy if one of your clients always requires a specific set of outputs. Hit the "Save List" button in the upper right of the Make Movie dialog, give the list a name, and hit "Save".

This list can now be easily loaded at any time simply by hitting the "Load List" button whenever the Make Movie dialog is in Batch Mode.

Now that you've configured your batch list, you need to give the movie outputs a name.

On the left side of the Make Movie dialog, you can give the outputs a name, and browse to determine the output location.
On the left side of the Make Movie dialog, you can give the outputs a name, and browse to determine the output location. Note that the name the final output has will be the name you enter, appended with the name of the setting dpsVelocity used to create it.

Hit the "Create Output" button.

dpsVelocity will now render the different outputs in the order they appeared in the Batch List.
dpsVelocity will now render the different outputs in the order they appeared in the Batch List. In my case, AVI output first, Real Media second, and Windows Media third. dpsVelocity's hardware acceleration allows many of these outputs to be created in real time, depending on the settings chosen.

After the renders are complete, you can go into a file explorer and look at your finished masterpieces!

The really nice thing about batch outputs, is once you've set them up once, you can use them again and again. So make your batch list and check it twice, you'll find that batch output is really quite nice!
