that rendered version available in your project.
Choose Window > Render Queue.

You use the Output To field in the Render Queue panel to enter a name for the rendered output, choose a location
for the file, and choose the output type. You can also set the output's file name by choosing a preset file naming
template from the Output To menu. Custom templates let you name the output according to specified properties of
the composition and project.
