# Auto FFMPEG render

<p class="callout info">[If unsure, you might also want to read up on how parenting works with automated jobs](https://docs.plint.com/books/plint-end-user-documentation/page/automated-jobs-and-job-parenting)</p>

This option lets you create deliverables using the files in the project, including the video file. A typical example would be a video with [burnt-in subtitles](https://docs.plint.com/books/plint-end-user-documentation/page/using-ffmpeg-to-generate-video-in-plint). In order to use this you need.

- A **video** uploaded to the project and set to mode "Standard".  
    
    - It also needs to be linked to the same node/part as the job that the translation is linked to.
    - Typically, this video should be a hi-resolution file *without* burnt-in timecode or text. 
        - The simplest way to attach such a file to the project while also being able to work in the online editor is to use the "Media upload" delivery method for a previous job and select a conversion preset in the upload dialogue. 
            - This will automatically store the original file with the project *and* create a lo-res proxy for the editor to use, giving them both the correct settings
        - (But adding the necessary files can also be done directly in the Filezone)
- A node with a **subtitle** linked to it 
    - I.e. a subtitle file created by online editor
- A **Render preset**
    - This determines the details of the output file. 
        - Text styling, video resolution and container, audio format, etc
    - These are edited and created under *Tools &amp; Data* and require some in-depth knowledge to manage
    - The two styling options support: 
        - ASS: Italics, Raised, Bold, Underline, Coloured text
        - SRT: Italics, Raised, Bold, Underline
    - In order to use alternative fonts, they first need to be uploaded under *Tools &amp; Data / Fonts*.

By combining these three, Plint can automatically create deliverables as a job.

The same tools and logic can also be applied to render videos "ad hoc" from the page *Generate video copies*, which can be accessed from the project bar.
