I have multiple projects that I need to render (18 of them, long story) so what would be the best way to render them overnight? I have tried to open multiple copies of power director and have each one render (I know they would both be slow, but i'd be asleep so I wouldn't care).

Is there a way of rendering a project and then having the program open another project and then render that?

Use the menu option, File / Batch Produce ...

Note that the batch produce will work, but in a sequence, not at the same time. This is probably what works best in most cases.

But if your projects are heavily I/O bound rather than CPU bound, like intensive SVRT, they may benefit from concurrent rendering - or not. You may not care how fast, if they all finish during your sleep, though. MSI X99A Raider
