Export from Display Node |
Lets you select the display node from which to render your scene.
NOTEIf there is no Display node in your scene, the only available option will be Display All. This renders all the nodes in your scene, including ones that are not connected to anything, in the order in which they're listed in the Timeline view. If you wish to have control over what is rendered, it is recommended to have at least one Display node in your scene and to connect it to the composite you wish to render.
