Rendering System
Overview
The Rendering System in ACT 3 AI powers the transformation of scripts, scenes, and digital actors into AI-generated video. It connects creative inputs (scripts, storyboards, timelines) with compute-intensive AI models like Google_Veo_3, Runway, and WAN AI, delivering both quick previews and production-quality outputs.
Key Components
- Rendering Engines: Specialized AI models for different visual styles.
- Resolution & Quality Settings: Draft, Medium, High, Ultra/4K.
- Credit Usage: Each render consumes credits depending on resolution, duration, and model used.
- Render Queue: Manages all rendering jobs.
- Preview vs Final Renders: Quick low-res iterations before committing to final exports.
Supported Engines
- Google Veo 3 Integration – photorealistic cinematic output.
- Runway Integration – stylized and experimental visuals.
- WAN AI Integration – low-latency collaborative previews.
- Stable Diffusion XL / Flux – creative generation (experimental).
- Comfy UI Integration – advanced node-based rendering for technical users.
Render Workflow
- Prepare scenes and shots in the Editor.
- Select **Render → Add to Queue**.
- Choose settings:
- Resolution (Draft, 720p, 1080p, 4K).
- Quality (low-cost draft → cinematic).
- Engine (Google Veo 3, Runway, WAN AI, etc.).
- Confirm estimated credit cost.
- Render job runs in the Render Queue until complete.
- Download output or send to Build Video / Export Distribution.
Resolution & Credits
Resolution | Preview (per 10s) | Final Render (per 10s) |
---|---|---|
Draft (low-res) | 1 credit | N/A |
720p | 2 credits | 4 credits |
1080p | 2 credits | 5 credits |
4K | 4 credits | 10 credits |
Preview vs Final Rendering
- Previews: Fast, low-cost, lower resolution, used for timing and rough visualization.
- Final Renders: High resolution, polished visuals, suitable for distribution.
- Strategy: Use draft previews frequently; only commit to final renders once locked.
Best Practices
- Always generate draft previews before 4K outputs to save credits.
- Use WAN AI sessions for brainstorming and collaborative testing.
- Group jobs into the Render Queue overnight to avoid bottlenecks.
- Keep track of credit usage in the dashboard.
Troubleshooting
- Job not rendering → Check queue status and credit balance.
- Output looks inconsistent → Verify prompts and locked character profiles.
- Slow rendering → Reduce resolution or batch at off-peak times.
- Missing assets → Ensure B-Roll or audio files are attached.
