Render a video

Turn a project into a video file, and what it costs in credit.

Press Render in the editor, or on a highlight card. In the editor, Zealous asks first: Render this video? and shows how much render credit it uses.

Render credit

  • A video uses one second of render credit for each second of video.
  • Each plan comes with render minutes every month. See Plans and credits.
  • If a render fails, you get the credit back.
  • When you run out, you can't start a new render until your credit resets or you upgrade. You are never charged for going over.

While it renders

Rendering takes a few minutes. You can keep working. Its status shows Preparing, Rendering, Merging, then Completed.

If you see Rendering failed, delete that video and render again.

Your videos

Every render makes a new video. Earlier videos stay as they were. Find them under Videos in the editor's top bar, on the recording's Summary tab, or on Videos.

The Zealous watermark

On the free plan, videos carry a small Zealous mark. Paid plans remove it. In the editor, Upgrade to remove shows the plans (only an owner of the organization can change the plan).
