For the ball / animation exercises you do viewport rendering actually, and it’s super fast. You have to render previews very often so it wouldn’t be very efficient to do slow renders each time… You don’t get any materials and lighting like you get with Cycles or Eevee though, you get just exactly what you see in your viewport in solid mode. Because it’s so fast, I usually just render it straight out as a movie file for convenience. Helpful CG Cookie video:
