make a pretty straightforward assumption that 4K will take about four times as long, on average, to render as 1080p will. 1440p falls somewhere in between<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the benchmarks I\u2019ll be using today, I\u2019ll stick to 1080p, as that\u2019s the most common target resolution for content being uploaded across the Internet today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re rendering at higher resolutions than that, be wary that it can have a huge impact on your final render times (and the size of your final video file).<\/p>\n<p><strong>You may also come across render options like Two-Pass rendering, which can further increase the final render time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two-Pass renders work by rendering the video effectively twice, which, yes, does double the final render time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, it can definitely be <strong>worth it, since the first pass is used to analyze content and bitrate and the second is used to more efficiently make a cleaner, sharper render according to the first pass\u2019 information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Past these pre-render disclaimers, let\u2019s now get into the render process and talk about how each step stresses different parts of your hardware.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here's what steps a typical video render process consists of:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Reading Footage<\/li>\n<li>Decoding Footage<\/li>\n<li>Alternate Footage \/ add Effects<\/li>\n<li>Compress Footage<\/li>\n<li>Save Final Output File<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Reading_Footage\"><\/span>Step 1: Reading Footage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>First up, there\u2019s the matter of reading the footage from your storage and placing it into RAM for it to be used in the render. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This step of the process is most directly impacted by, you guessed it, storage read speed and RAM capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>High storage speed with an SSD (<a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/nvme-vs-ssd\/\">preferably an NVMe SSD<\/a>) will enable your footage to be placed into RAM faster, which allows the next steps of the process to occur.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18534\" style=\"width: 845px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18534\"
