Output
The settings on the Output page refer to rendering in the Picture Viewer only. These settings have no
effect on rendering in the viewports. You must render to the Picture Viewer if you want to save the
rendered image.
Resolution
Denes the size of the rendered image. Choose the resolution from the drop-down list or enter your
own values in the two input boxes to the right. The drop-down list includes most common video
formats. If you enter custom values, the drop-down list is set to Manual.
Film Format
The lm format corresponds to an image’s X:Y ratio. Photographic studios, the movie industry and
the TV industry often use ratios that differ from that of a computer screen. Choose the lm format
from the drop-down list or enter your own values in the two input boxes to the right. The drop-down
list includes most common video formats. If you enter custom values, the drop-down list is set to
Manual.
The Resolution and the Film Format settings are linked. If you change Film Format, Resolution is
adjusted automatically in the Y direction.
Select a resolution of 320 x 240. This is the same as a computer’s 4:3 ratio.
Change the lm format to 70 mm (cine format) — the resolution changes to
320 x 145 automatically (it is scaled in the Y direction to match the format).
The default setting for the lm format is Automatic. This means that images will be rendered in the
specied resolution independently of any particular ratio.
Two lines are shown in the 3D viewport to frame the area that will be rendered.
