Limitations
Render time
Rendering video is a CPU and memory intensive process and takes time to complete – expect 1 to 2 seconds rendering time per second of video.
It will be slower at higher resolutions (i.e. 1080p HD vs SD) and with effects, filters and transitions applied. Keep this in mind when doing status requests to check if a render has completed or not.
