How to open a rendered animation? I just sat through an hour or so to render my first 5 second animation. Now how can I access and play my file? The default folder it should be in (/tmp) only has one Blender related file, 296_autosave.blend. This is a noob question but there didn't seem to be an answer for it yet.
Go to Render > View Animation  or  use CtrlF11:



To know the output location check Output Path in Output Properties. (You may have changed this accidentally)



edit:

On Windows 10, the full path to output folder is displayed on the title bar of animation viewer
