Rendering (What's New in 2026)

The Hardware Anti-Aliasing and Action Output Precision parameters have been moved from the Batch Prefs menu to the Rendering tab of the Project Preferences.

Use the Use HWAA parameter from the Node Prefs menu of the Action, Burn-In Metadata, GMask, GMask Tracer, Image, Subtitles, Text, and Type tools to determine if the project's hardware anti-aliasing sampling level is applied to a Node or Timeline FX.

  • When enabled, the tool uses the hardware anti-aliasing sampling level set in the Rendering tab of the Project Preferences.
  • When disabled, no hardware anti-aliasing is applied.
Note: The status of the Use HWAA parameter is saved in the setups.

The default status of Use HWAA differs from one node to the other.

  • Action: The default status can be set at the user level in the Action / GMask Tracer / Image tab of the User Preferences.
  • Burn-In Metadata: Enabled by default.
  • GMask: Enabled by default.
  • GMask Tracer: Enabled by default.
  • Image: Disabled by default.
  • Subtitles: Enabled by default.
  • Text: Enabled by default.
  • Type: Enabled by default.

Loading Setups from Previous Versions

When loading a Batch setup saved in a previous version, the application may adjust the project's Hardware Anti-Aliasing option and the status of the Output Precision to preserve the setup's integrity.

  • When the setup's hardware anti-aliasing value is higher than the project's value, the following rules are applied:

    • If the setup's hardware anti-aliasing value is higher than the maximum hardware anti-aliasing level available, one of the following happens:

      • If the project is already at the maximum hardware anti-aliasing value, a dialog message warns that the value cannot be changed.
      • If the value can be increased, a dialog message gives the options to raise the hardware anti-aliasing to the maximum allowed value or not.

    • If the setup's hardware anti-aliasing value is available but different, a dialog message gives the options to keep the current project's value or use the setup's value.

  • When the setup's hardware anti-aliasing value is lower than the project's value, the latter is preserved.

  • If the setup's output precision is 32-bit and the project's output precision is set to 16-bit, a dialog message gives the options to keep the current project's precision or use the setup's precision.

Note: The Hardware Anti-Aliasing and Output Precision parameters from Batch FX segments and Clip's History are ignored.

The status of the Use HWAA parameter is set to the tool's default value since it was not available in previous versions. The only exception is Action, where Use HWAA is enabled if the setup requires hardware anti-aliasing and disabled otherwise.
