Create a composition and render source footage items simultaneously

You can simultaneously create a composition from source footage and prepare it for rendering. This process is useful when you want to change some characteristic of the source footage, such as frame rate or compression method, and have that rendered version available in your project.

  1. Drag one or more footage items from the Project panel to the Render Queue panel, or select the footage items in the Project panel and press Ctrl+Shift+/ (Windows) or Command+Shift+/ (Mac OS). After Effects creates both a new item in the render queue and a new composition in the Project panel for each footage item.
  2. Adjust the render settings as desired, and click Render.
