How to render videos

Modified on Fri, 13 Dec at 7:34 PM

You can render an animation into a video or image sequence. This guide explains how to customize your render video settings effectively.



Export Settings 

This section allows you to select the render output format and preset quality settings. Supported formats include: 

  • MP4 video (ideal for compatibility across platforms)
  • WEBM video (optimized for web use)
  • PNG, BMP, TIFF, or JPEG image sequences


We recommend using Preset quality settings for beginners. 


Use the Camera dropdown to select the desired camera for rendering. By default, the active camera is selected.


Basic Video Settings 

Configure the resolution of the output video or image sequence here. The maximum resolution is 4096 x 4096, but for MP4 videos, it is limited to 4096 x 2304.


To render with a transparent background, select PNG or TIFF as the export format and check the Alpha box 


Bitrate Settings 

Bitrate refers to the data amount in a video signal, measured in bits per second. Higher bitrates result in better-quality videos but also larger file sizes. 


Target bitrate: Dynamically adjusts bitrate based on video complexity, aiming to maintain the specified average bitrate (measured in megabits per second).



Graphics Settings

Point count: This setting controls GPU memory usage and determines the number of points rendered per frame. Increasing the point count improves the visual quality and reduces perceived point loading effects. 


No tiling: This option works together with the Point count setting. When enabled, all point clouds are sub-sampled to match the total number of points defined in the Point count. Rendering these sub-sampled point clouds ensures that no visible tiling occurs in videos. However, enabling this option may reduce point density in highly detailed scenes. 


Supersampling: Improves video quality by rendering at a higher resolution and downscaling, minimizing aliasing and improving the sharpness of fine details.
