Currently, there is no single standard format for video on a PC. This is not an uncommon

about the format of your final movie. Fortunately, in the case of digital video, choosing the
wrong format costs you nothing. In this sometimes complicated section, we're going to walk
you through the universal procedure you need to follow to make a movie, talk about the
various options you need to consider, and discuss the actual formats' strengths and weak-
nesses.

The speed at which your computer renders, or creates, a movie can vary greatly depending on
how complicated your project is, but it can take some time. Be patient and let your computer
do its thing. You may even want to let your computer render really big projects overnight or
while you're at work.
