Calculate Render Times with this Render Time Calculator

Calculate Render Times with this Render Time Calculator

As a motion designer, you know that rendering is the necessary beast that stands between your creative vision and the final deliverable. Whether you're working on a 30-second product video or a 5-minute brand film, knowing how long your render will take is essential for project planning.

That's why I built the Render Time Calculator - a free tool that estimates your total render time based on frame count, average time per frame, and the number of machines in your setup.

How it works

Enter your composition's frame count (or duration and frame rate), your average render time per frame, and how many machines you're rendering across. The calculator does the rest.

Why accuracy matters

I've been burned by underestimating render times more than once. A "quick overnight render" turns into a 36-hour marathon, and suddenly you're scrambling to meet a deadline. This tool helps you plan realistically.
