render_preview
Generate a preview image showing video layers, text overlays, and element positioning at a specific time to inform placement decisions before repositioning elements.
Instructions
Render a composite preview frame of the project at a specific time — all video layers cropped and positioned, text overlays drawn on top. Returns a JPEG image so you can see exactly what the canvas looks like: where subjects are, where overlays sit, what's obstructed. Use this before repositioning elements so you can make informed placement decisions.
