Why we like it

Stands out in the superhive library for bundling platform presets, savable profiles, and one-session batch export into the Video Sequencer sidebar.

What is Smart Render Profile?

Smart Render Profile is a productivity add-on for Blender's Video Sequencer, built around quick render presets for social platforms. It applies settings for YouTube at 1920x1080, TikTok at 1080x1920, and Instagram at 1080x1080.

Beyond the built-in presets, you can save and load your own render settings as custom profiles. A batch export runs every saved profile in one session, and a custom frame range option lets you export only the portion of the timeline you need. Batch outputs follow a numbered naming pattern such as 001-YouTube and 002-TikTok.

The interface sits in the Video Sequencer sidebar under a tab called Smart Export, keeping profile management and one-click settings in a single panel. The add-on works within the Video Sequence Editor and is compatible with Blender 3.6 and above. It ships under a GPL license, and the developer offers full support for questions and problem reports.

Who is Smart Render Profile best for?

Smart Render Profile is best for social media creators posting to multiple platforms and video editors working on short-form content, along with educators or teams sharing project templates across profiles.

How much does Smart Render Profile cost?

Smart Render Profile is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Smart Render Profile work with Blender 4.5?

Smart Render Profile lists compatibility with Blender 3.6 and above, with the store entry noting a range of 3.6 through 4.5, so recent releases in that span are covered. The add-on operates within the Video Sequence Editor rather than the main 3D workspace. If you run a version outside that range, check the developer's page for the current compatibility details before installing, since supported versions can shift as Blender itself updates and the add-on receives new releases.

Where does Smart Render Profile show up in Blender's interface?

Smart Render Profile integrates into the Video Sequencer sidebar under a tab labelled Smart Export. From that panel you apply platform presets, save and load custom profiles, set a custom frame range, and trigger batch export without leaving the editor. Keeping these controls in one sidebar tab means the profile management and export settings stay together in a single place. Because it lives in the Video Sequence Editor, it targets video editing projects rather than modelling or general scene work.

What resolutions do Smart Render Profile's platform presets use?

Smart Render Profile ships with three platform presets at fixed resolutions: YouTube at 1920x1080, TikTok at 1080x1920, and Instagram at 1080x1080. Applying a preset sets those dimensions for the export. Alongside the built-in options you can save your own render settings as custom profiles, and batch export will run every saved profile in a single session. Exported files follow a numbered naming pattern, such as 001-YouTube and 002-TikTok, so each output is labelled by its profile.

Is Smart Render Profile free to use?

Smart Render Profile is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under a GPL license. Licensing terms on marketplaces can change over time, so for the current price and any licensing specifics it is worth checking the developer's page directly before you download. The developer also states that full support is available, so you can ask questions or report problems through the listing. That combination of an open license and support covers most day-to-day use.
