What is the meaning of Background Rendering? When would I use it?

If you are working on a Full HD Project with many tracks and a number of video effects applied your system may not be performant enough to play your preview in realtime. Also 4K projects can suffer from perfomance in preview.

For such cases ‘Nero Video’ has a special function called ‘Background Rendering‘. With this function enabled Nero Video will render your project in the background whenever your project is idle so that you can even watch complex projects in realtime.

‘Nero Video’ will show a percentage indication. When this is finished (100%) ‘Nero Video’ is ready for a realtime preview.

If your system lacks perfomance you can also set the slider more to the left hand side and reduce resolution in favor of having more real time performance.

Finally you can adapt the layout of your main screen to gain more space for your project work.
