-====Save a Frame as an Image -- Export Frame====  +====Render just part of your timeline==== 
-from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnainUbQ4qY]] +Suppose you want to render just a part of your timeline (to a MP4 or to YouTube for example), rather than the whole timeline.  I'll do this when I have a meeting with several totally different topics and I want to save each topic as its own YouTube video. 
-  - Select clip in timeline + 
-  - Go to the Color tab +  - Create your video with the multiple separate parts. 
-  - In video preview, move the time marker to the frame you'd like to save +  - Deliver tab 
-  - Right-click on the video preview, and select Grab Still +  - Just above timeline, see ''Entire Timeline'', drop it down and select ''In/Out Range'' 
-  - On the left in the Gallery, right-click on the still and select Export +  - Move cursor to start of desired output, right click and select ''Mark In'' 
-  - Find the place on your computer to save it and name it +  - Move cursor to end of desired output, right click and select ''Mark Out'' 
-  - Change file type to JPEG or whatever, and hit Export to save the frame as an image+  - Set up rest of parameters for your export, eg, YouTube, file name, etc, as usual. 
 +  - Add to Render Queue 
 + 
 +That's all to it.\\  
 +To undo the In/Out, select a spot on the timeline and select ''Entire Timeline'' 
 + 
 +As of 3/15/2024, during my first attempt, it appears that you can in/out one part of your timeline, set it to be rendered; then in/out another part and set it to be rendered; and then render both.  Thus one timeline can produce two or more rendered files.  Nice.
