Overview
Renderjuice can generate an MP4 video in addition to your frame outputs. Your frame sequence is always preserved and remains the source of truth for re-renders. The MP4 output that Renderjuice encodes is set to be visually lossless.Blender video output vs Renderjuice MP4
If your Blender file is set to render directly to a video container (like FFmpeg), Renderjuice will not use that as the primary output. We render an image sequence and then generate MP4 as an additional output.MP4 requirements (PNG/JPEG only)
MP4 is only available when Output Format is PNG or JPEG. If you select OpenEXR or OpenEXR Multilayer, MP4 is disabled. Renderjuice will still render and preserve your EXR frames, but it will not generate an MP4 in that configuration. If you need additional outputs (including videos) from EXR renders, you’ll need to use a third-party encoder.What you’ll see in the post-validation config
If your render isn’t already configured for PNG/JPEG frames, enabling Video (MP4) may update fields like Output Format so frames are preserved (and you’ll receive an MP4 as well). For Blender 5+ files set to Video output, Renderjuice renders using Image output so frames are preserved, even if the read-only Blender Output Mode still reflects the file’s original setting.Enable MP4 output
- Open a render in the app.
- In Editable render configuration, open Additional Outputs.
- Set Video (MP4) to Enabled.
- Double check any changed configuration fields still look correct.
