Re: Never sure which options to choose for rendering - Motion 3

[peter dunphy] "lighting
field rendering
motion blur
frame blending"

These are options you need to use when you know why you want to use them.
If you have lights on in your scene, you want to render them. If you have no lights (and no camera) you do not need to activate lights. why does the switch exist at all? I render without lights for preview purposes.

Fields are necessary for interlaced formats. You must know if your production format is progressive or interlaced.

Motion blur enhances the illusion of movement by simulating image smear caused by an open shutter. You get the illusion at the expense of rendering time.

Frame blending is only necessary if you have video clips in your scene and even then you don't need it unless you've changed the speed of the clip. Sort of.
