Render a project

Use Render to create a video file or audio-only file from the current project. Yrendr shares the same Track/Master processing model between preview and final output.

Prerequisites

• Confirm that referenced source media is available.
• Review the edit in Preview.
• Resolve important plugin errors in Debug Log before a final render.
• Choose a destination with enough free storage.

Render video

1. Press Ctrl+E to open Render.
2. Select Video output.
3. Choose MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM.
4. Confirm the output resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate and duration settings.
5. Choose Draft, Standard, High or Maximum quality.
6. Choose an encoder or leave encoder selection on Auto.
7. Select the output path and start the render.

Render audio only

1. Press Ctrl+E.
2. Select Audio only output.
3. Choose WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, OGG or Opus.
4. Configure the output path and render range.
5. Start the render.

Audio-only rendering skips visual frame rendering while still applying the timeline audio mix, Track audio FX and Master audio FX.

Note: Preview quality is an editor-performance setting. Final output quality is controlled by the Render dialog and project render settings.

Cancel a render

Use the render cancellation control while an export is running. Yrendr stops the active render and reports the cancellation instead of treating it as a completed output.

Diagnose a slow or failed render

• Press F7 to inspect Render Profiler timings.
• Press F8 to inspect handled errors in Debug Log.
• Switch a forced hardware encoder back to Auto if encoder availability is uncertain.
