The "Render Dialog" lets you render your animation. It can be reached through the Canvas Menu Caret "<File> → Render".
Let's have an in-depth look at it.

Render-settings 0.63.06.png
  • Target
    • Filename - Here you can set desired output filename and also a custom path to the render.
    • Target - Set your output format. At "Auto" the format is decided by the filename suffix. If none is present png-format is default.
  • Settings
    • Quality - Set the quality of the render. Quality changes behavior of some layers, not all of them. For example Motion Blur layer renders more subsamples based on quality values in intervals.
      • Default quality is 3.
      • 1 is highest quality but with longest render time.
      • 9 is lowest quality but renders faster.
      • 0 is even lower than 9 and seems to disable apha channels as well.
    • Anti-Aliasing - Set the amount of anti-aliasing. Accepts values between 1 and 31, although values above 3 is very subtle improvements and hard to notice. higher values also adds considerable to render times.
    • Render current frame only - With this ticked only one frame is rendered; the current one.

Then there are three tabs, we're starting with;

Image tab

  • Image Size
    • Width - set width of render in pixels.
    • Height - set height of render in pixels.
    • XRes - set horizontal resolution of render.
    • YRes - set vertical resolution of render.
    • Physical Width - set physical printing size of render. (Calculated from Width/XRes).
    • Physical Height - set physical printing size of render. (Calculated from Height/YRes).
    • Image Span - (?)
  • Image Area - sets the portion of the workarea to be rendered.
    • Top Left X:/Y: - set where in the workarea top left of render starts.
    • Bottom Right X:/Y: - set where in the workarea bottom right of render starts.

Time tab
