How to speed up video rendering
Short answer
Rendering speeds up when you trim unused footage, close other apps, keep plenty of free disk space and use sensible resolution and bitrate. Hardware matters, so expect long clips and heavy effects to take longer on slower computers. Keep your computer awake so renders do not stop partway.
What helps most?
- Trim footage before processing
- Close other heavy apps
- Keep several GB free
- Export at the needed resolution, not higher
- Keep the computer awake
What about skills?
Skills render on your computer, so speed depends on it. The install guide advises keeping a few GB free and stopping the Mac from sleeping, and Claude can resume where it stopped. See Layers and Glass.
What should you avoid?
Rendering at higher quality than the platform needs and running other heavy tasks at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Why is rendering slow?
Complex effects, high resolution and a slower computer all increase render time.
Does a faster computer help?
Yes, since rendering uses your hardware.
Should I render overnight?
If your computer stays awake, yes, for long batches.
Can I resume a stopped render?
With these skills, Claude can usually continue where it stopped.
