F10 renders the animation

go to render/ render globals to change a couple of the settings for your animation......select the output tab to set animation options- things like where you want to save the file to, what the format must be etc........

is this what u wanted to no?

put on antialiasing- that will smooth out the jaggered edges...
under render/render globals select the filtering tab and change antialiasing to about 5 pass..... that should b ok, but its going to slooooooooow down the render speed

u can post some screen shots up here and we can look at it and give suggestions.......

hmmmmmmm ok try this- in lights/properties under the basic tab- make sure your area light quality is around 4 or even 5 and that you are rendering with antialiasing on... that plus noise reduction should work
