Rendering & Preview
Track render progress and preview your finished videos.
Last updated February 23, 2026
Render status
Video runs move through a simple draft-and-render pipeline. You can track progress through these statuses:
- Draft — content is being generated or is ready for a render request
- Queued — render request is waiting to start
- Processing — render is actively running
- Completed — render finished and the video is available
- Failed — render encountered an error
The dashboard and video library update in real time as queued jobs move through generation and rendering.
Video preview
Once rendering completes, you can preview your video in two ways:
- 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.
