About Rendering Outputs from Action

Use the multi-pass rendering capabilities of Action's Output menu to manage your outputs. Options are available to help you set up and prepare many different types of outputs (based on a specific camera), much as you would with render passes in a 3D application. You can process multiple outputs at once, from your complete Action scene, to specific Shadow or Z-Depth outputs, for example.

Note: If you accessed Action from the timeline, the output consists of a single Render Layer with Comp and Matte enabled.

Action Output Workflow

When using the Action Output menu, you usually follow the options from left to right.

Step:Action:
1Use the Render Layers list to add, copy, delete, and rename render layers.
2Set Outputs Options: select the Primary output type, the camera to output, and any render passes per render layer.
3Set Rendering and Ambient Occlusion Options, as necessary.
4Select objects to output.
5Render your outputs from Action (using the options in the Render button and dropdown list).

To access the Output menu, click the Output button.
