Render Time Calculator

If you've ever started a render in After Effects and wondered whether it'll be done in an hour or twelve, this tool is for you.

The Render Time Calculator estimates your total render duration based on three inputs: frame count, average time per frame, and the number of machines rendering. It handles the math so you can plan your day (or your overnight render) accurately.

This is especially useful when you're working with render farms, multiple workstations, or just trying to figure out if you can squeeze a render in before a deadline. I've been burned too many times by "quick overnight renders" that turned into 36-hour marathons.

You can input your composition's total frame count directly, or calculate it from duration and frame rate. The tool supports any frame rate and accounts for parallel rendering across multiple machines.

No signup, no ads. Just punch in your numbers and get a realistic estimate. Built from years of rendering frustration.
