Using the Render Queue
Once you’ve defined the settings necessary to render the type of media you require, and the
range of the current session you want to render, you need to add all that information as a job to
the Render Queue. You can add as many jobs to the Render Queue as you need, depending on
what files you need to output.
Each job can have individually specified ranges of clips and individual clip settings, which can
include different render directories, different formats, resolutions, data levels, burn-in settings,
and so on. As a result, you can use the Render Queue to queue up the render of multiple
sections of the current session, or multiple versions of the same media. Furthermore, you can
queue up multiple sessions, if you have several differently graded sessions.
To add a job to the Render Queue:
1 Select a timeline.
2 Choose the settings you require in the Render Settings, using one of the Presets, or by
choosing your own custom settings.
3 Choose a range of clips to render using the Deliver page Timeline using the
procedures described in the previous section.
4 Click the Add to Render Queue button at the bottom of the Render Settings.
5 If you haven’t chosen a location for the render yet, you’ll be prompted to do so now via
a File Destination dialog, so choose a location and click Ok. If there’s already media
in the render location you’ve specified, you may also see a dialog telling you “This
render may overwrite existing clips in this folder.” If you want to continue, click Yes,
otherwise click No.
That render setup is now added as a job to the Render Queue, showing the project and
timeline name, and location path where the render will be written to.
