Rendering & Preview
Track render progress and preview your finished videos.
Last updated February 23, 2026
Render status
After content generation, the video enters the render queue. You can track its progress through these statuses:
- Draft — content generated, not yet queued for render
- Queued — waiting in the render queue
- Rendering — actively being processed
- Ready — render complete, video available
- Failed — render encountered an error
A real-time progress dialog shows each step as it happens, from content generation through final render.
Video preview
Once rendering completes, you can preview your video in two ways:
- Generation dialog — the video plays automatically when rendering finishes
- Video player — click any video card to open the full-screen 9:16 player with download and share buttons
Video thumbnails in the grid also support hover-to-play previews.
Failed renders
If a render fails, VidLoop automatically:
- Marks the video with a "Failed" status badge
- Refunds the credit that was deducted
- Logs the error for troubleshooting
Render failures
If you experience repeated render failures, check that your template has valid asset packs with at least a few images. Renders can fail if no suitable background images are available.
