Using the Render Queue window


    Use the Render Queue window to render compositions, apply rendering and output module options, and obtain information on the rendering process. You can queue items to be rendered in any order.

    All the settings for rendering a movie or sequence are included in the Render Queue window. When you drag or place a composition into the Render Queue window, it becomes a render item. You can then queue, or line up, a number of items for rendering, so that After Effects can render multiple items unattended. The settings you change in the Render Queue window affect only rendering and do not change the original compositions.

    The top section of the Render Queue window monitors an item that After Effects is rendering. In the bottom section, you can arrange a queue of items to be rendered and specify render settings and output modules for each one.
