There are several ways of rendering movies in maya such as exporting to Avi files or .iif files. However these have a drawback, when exporting to avi, if there is anyproblem in the animation that causes it to stop rendering, the whole video file would be ruined. This also means that if i wanted to change anything in certain frames, i would have to re render the whole video. Rendering to .iff files which is the default was also not an option as i dont have any software that supports them. Therefore i decided to render the scene into Jpeg images. This helped to keep the file size low since jpegs are compressed images.
Once the 1000+ images were rendered, i selected them all and placed them into Vegas Pro 15. This then set them in order at the framerate of 25 frames. I then exported the selection of files into an MP4 video. this then changed the video from being roughly 2 GB images to being just 52MB.
Below is the Raw rendered file with no editing or sound
