Pausing and Resuming rendering

Post by raja_fj »

I am rendering a 3 hour home video with a few FX in BLURAY format (M2T) after selecting the MPEG OPTIMIZER option. Before the optimization the project size was 22.7GB and after the optimization it is 20.1GB.

After almost 7 hours it has completed only 45%. The question is that can I pause the rendering and resume tomorrow. If so should I hibernate or simulate a abnormal shutdown so that I can simply resume windows tomorrow.

I do not want all the 7 hours rendering to go waste.

Please suggest.

Well you can certainly pause and resume the rendering by clicking on the pause symbol at the right hand end of the rendering progress bar

BUT

I do not know of anyone who has switched their computer off and back on again while paused - and whether the partial render is lost in that process

Most people faced with a long render simply leave the computer on and rendering and go to bed - there is nothing to do when the process completes so you do not need to be there.
