Desktop Rendering

Render videos locally with FFmpeg and hardware acceleration on your machine.

Requirements

VisionDraft Desktop bundles FFmpeg. Hardware encoders (NVENC, Quick Sync, VideoToolbox) are detected automatically and used when available.

Render queue

Local renders appear in the Desktop app render queue. Progress updates in real time. Completed exports open from the exports folder or sync to cloud if enabled.

Quality presets

  • Fast — software encoding, quick previews
  • Balanced — hardware accel when available
  • Quality — maximum quality, slower encode

Hybrid routing

In hybrid mode, large or 4K renders may route to cloud automatically. Override in Desktop settings or ask your agent to "render locally" or "render in cloud".

See Cloud rendering for cloud-specific details.
