  • Shutdown PC after Render

    Posted by Paul Gregory on July 26, 2010 at 3:10 am

    Some renders can take a very long time. Is it possible to set the program so that your PC shuts done once the rendering is finished?

    Thanks in advance

    I’ve never used this one but know a few Vegas users who like it.

    I haven’t tried the batch render + shutdown one, but if I know how long it will take to render (for me and my snail of a computer 10mins will take around 3-4hrs!?!) I use a freeware program called handy tweaker https://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/Handy-Tweakers.shtml

    You can set this to shutdown your computer at a specific time or after a specified length of time, the disadvantage of this is if you misjudge your render time or your computer slows down then you risk the computer shutting down mid-render.

    I know its not the best way to do it and feels like hitting a nail with a sledgehammer but I found it works how I want it to, as 90% of videos I do inevitably have to render overnight.

    Hope that helps
