Render Options

When only one Shot is included in the custom rendering, there is an extra option available:

Codec

There are four options in the Codec drop-down menu that change the quality of the render:

1. Preview

   Generates preview videos of Shots.

2. Online

   There is no compression in this mode of rendering of Shots, resulting in final product quality. Codec: DNxHD Profile: dnxhr_444 Pixel format: yuv444p

3. Offline

   Similar to online rendering, but the quality is 1080p and meant for test purposes.

1. Apha Channel

   Online quality with Alpha Channel for later compositing.

Render Result

When the Custom Render starts, the main page will add a new process for this render. Once rendering is complete, a "Download" button will appear in the right corner in order to download the video to the location of your choice.

When the export is complete, you can access the files in the "showexport/_the_show_code" folder inside Renderman workspace.
