Customizing the rendering process

Every media file format has different variables and controls. You can use a template to automatically configure a particular format for a particular destination.

You can also choose to create custom settings for your render by clicking Custom. Once you have customized the settings, you can create your own template so that you can reuse the custom settings at a later time.
