Using the Render Queue window
Use the Render Queue window to render compositions, apply rendering and output
module options, and obtain information on the rendering process. You can queue items
to be rendered in any order.
All the settings for rendering a movie or sequence are included in the Render Queue
window. When you drag or place a composition into the Render Queue window, it
becomes a render item. You can then queue, or line up, a number of items for rendering,
so that After Effects can render multiple items unattended. The settings you change in the
Render Queue window affect only rendering and do not change the original compositions.
The top section of the Render Queue window monitors an item that After Effects is
rendering. In the bottom section, you can arrange a queue of items to be rendered and
specify render settings and output modules for each one.
