Review and approve frames
Inspect rendered frames, play an animation, approve results, and request a re-render.
Double-click a job in All Jobs or in a scene's job list to open its frames.
Choose a frame view
Use the view controls above the frames:
Grid
See the status of many frames at once. The totals above the grid show how many frames have each status.
Table
Compare frame numbers, progress, and render times.
Bars
Browse a strip of thumbnails. Click a frame to show it in the player.
Gallery
Compare frame images side by side.
Thumbnails appear as images become available, including during rendering.
Double-click a frame to open its preview. You can also use the enlarge button on a Gallery thumbnail, in the frame's right-click menu, or on the open job's thumbnail in its details panel. Left and Right arrow keys move between frames; Escape closes the preview.
Full-size previews are watermarked. If a full-size preview is not available, the preview may show the thumbnail instead. Final renders are downloaded separately after approval.
Play the sequence
If the player is hidden, click Show video player at the bottom of the frames list. Clicking the job's thumbnail or the image in a frame's right-click menu also opens it. Selecting a frame in the list chooses the frame shown in the player.
Use Play, Previous, Next, or the bar below the image to move through the sequence.
Choose Low-Res for thumbnails or Hi-Res for full-size previews. Click Cache to load available images at that resolution before playback; click Caching to stop loading them.
Use the FPS control to change playback speed, loop to repeat the sequence, or yoyo to play forwards and backwards.
Use Background selector to adjust the background behind transparent areas.
Click the player's image to open its preview. To save a movie of the sequence, see Create a video preview.
Approve frames
Frames marked Need Review are ready for your decision. This applies when Auto Approve was left off during job creation.
One or several frames
Select the frames and choose Accept Selected in the toolbar at the bottom or the right-click menu. Table rows also offer this action.
Every frame waiting for review
Choose Accept All Frames in the frames toolbar, right-click menu, or a table row. This approves all frames currently waiting for review in the job, including those outside your selection.
The frame shown in the player
Click Accept below the image.
The frame in the full-screen preview
Press Space.
Approved frames become available for download. Frames still rendering are not approved by Accept All Frames.
Request a re-render
For an incorrectly rendered frame marked Need Review:
Select it and choose Re-render Frame in the toolbar at the bottom, the right-click menu, or its table row. You can select several frames together.
Choose a reason in the confirmation window, if applicable.
Click Re-render.
You can also click Re-render in the player or press R in the full-screen preview for the displayed frame. Requested frames are rendered again automatically.
Excessive re-rendering may reduce your reputation score.
Request another render node
If a frame is taking too long and is still assigned to a node, select it and choose Request New Node from the toolbar, right-click menu, or table row. Check the frames in the confirmation and click Confirm. The player offers New Node for its displayed frame; the full-screen preview uses N.
You pay both the original node and the replacement node for time spent rendering.
