Export queue and recovery

Manage deliveries and understand what a queued job captures.

Capture a Mac delivery job

Choose Export at the top right (⇧⌘E), configure the active sequence and delivery settings, then choose Add to Queue…. Give destinations recognizable names so separate cuts or formats are easy to distinguish. View Queue… opens Export Queue with the retained jobs.

Each job captures its revision, output settings, and destination. Later project changes do not rewrite that stored job. Create a new job for the revised cut, and inspect the format, dimensions, source quality, audio state, and destination before running it.

The mobile delivery guide lists the corresponding iPhone/iPad labels and completed-file handoffs.

Follow the queue

Use Run Queue, Pause After Current, or Cancel Job as appropriate. Pausing waits for the current job before stopping the next one. A direct export must finish before the queue can run. Keep the required source files available and avoid moving folders during rendering.

Closing the queue panel on Mac keeps exports running. Quitting Meridian is different: interrupted jobs need an explicit restart. Read each entry's state and failure message instead of treating an interrupted output as a complete movie.

Restart deliberately

Use Restart for the stored job, or Choose Destination & Restart… when the original destination cannot be used. Resolve missing originals, changed-source verification, destination access, or space problems before retrying.

Restart renders the captured revision again. It does not automatically substitute the newest timeline, and it does not promise to append rendering to a partial file from the last frame. For a new edit, capture a new job.

Keep completed files

Show File reveals a completed output. Remove Entry removes only the retained queue record; it preserves completed output files. Verify the actual file's picture, sound, title timing, and captions before delivery.

An export already running can complete under the current access rules, while a later gated job may wait for renewed access. Check subscription status if the queue reports an access issue. Keep the project and completed work while resolving it.
