About Render Job Monitor

The Render Job Monitor provides you an overview of all your xStudio render jobs and their status. Furthermore it offers the possibility to download or publish the media of completed render jobs.

The Render Job Monitor contains two areas:

  • The upper one xStudio Experiences lists all your Experiences that contain render jobs.
  • The lower part displays all render jobs of the selected xStudio Experience.

This page discusses:

Experiences with Jobs

The order of the displayed Experience is based on submitted render jobs, which means that the Experience from which you last created a job, appears on the left. A blue frame marks the active xStudio Experience.

If no Experience is selected, all Render jobs of all Experiences are displayed in the lower area. Click once on the active Experience to cancel its selection.

Next to Render jobs of Experience: <Experience name> the number of submitted render jobs for the selected Experience appears.

If the Experience has render jobs whose media is about to expire in less than two weeks, it is indicated by an orange icon and the number of affected jobs. A red icon shows you the number of already expired jobs from this Experience.

If expired jobs and jobs that are about to expire in less than two weeks exist, only the number of expiring jobs is displayed. For more information, see Information > Expiration date of the media.
