# Overview: Blender Feature Support on Renderjuice

> Couple things to keep in mind when using Blender with Renderjuice and other Render Farms and a summary of our support for Blender features.

## Summary & Compatibility of Supported Features

To best support creatives, **all** Renderjuice plans support the vast majority of features marked with a ✅. Those that are not available
on all plans will be explicitly noted below.

| Symbol | Support Status                |
| ------ | ----------------------------- |
| ✅      | Fully Supported               |
| 🔫     | Actively Being Worked On      |
| 🚧     | Planned                       |
| ❌      | No Immediate Plans to Support |

<Note>This table is comprehensive, but may not be exhaustive. Features that *are* actually supported may not be listed and vice versa.</Note>

### Video Outputs (MP4)

You can now generate MP4 videos from your frame outputs. Enable **Video (MP4)** in a render's **Editable render configuration**, and the MP4 will appear alongside your frame downloads once ready.

When you enable **Video (MP4)**, the post-validation config updates **Output Format** to PNG/JPEG and adjusts the related output settings so frames are always preserved.

MP4 requires PNG/JPEG frames. If you select **OpenEXR** or **OpenEXR Multilayer**, MP4 is disabled.

If your frame range is non-contiguous, Renderjuice creates multiple MP4s, one per segment, so you can download exactly the pieces you need. Learn more in [Video Outputs (MP4)](/docs/rendering-with-blender/video-outputs).

Please, if anything is missing that you think should be supported, let us know! We're *always* looking to improve the experience for Blender users.

It truly helps us out a ton ☀️
