Monitoring the rendering process

The Render Queue window displays both elapsed time and estimated time remaining for the composition being rendered. In addition, the Render Queue window displays the following information for all queued items:

Renders Started

Lists which items in the queue have started rendering.

Total Time Elapsed

Log File

Shows the name and location of the file to which rendering status messages are written. After Effects creates a log file, AE Log (date/time).txt. The path of the log file is displayed in the Render Queue window during rendering. Use the Log menu in the Render Queue window to select which information is written to the log file.
