Using the Video Playback Feature in Frame Approval
Guide to using video playback for approving frames on the Render Network
Using Video Playback is a useful tool for approving frames on the Render Network
Overview
The Frame Approval step on the Render Network includes a powerful video playback feature that lets you preview your animation directly in-browser. This helps you catch issues like flickers, black frames, or rendering artifacts without having to inspect every frame manually.
How It Works
Once frames begin rendering, you can:
Play the animation back in real-time using the video player.
Adjust playback speed to quickly scan or slow things down for a closer look.
Pause and scrub to any point in the timeline.
Use frame-by-frame navigation to inspect exact frames.
Queue individual frames for re-render directly from the timeline.
This is especially useful for identifying visual errors across long sequences.
Partial Renders Are OK
Even if your render job isn’t 100% complete, you can still preview whatever frames have finished. This gives you a usable reference earlier in the process.
Clearing Cached Previews
After queuing re-renders, refresh your browser to clear cached video previews and ensure you’re seeing the updated frames.
