Can a video track be seen, but not rendered?

[Dan McKinney]

Can I set a video track to be seen in the monitor while editing, but not rendered?

Before rendering, I know I can switch the track visibility on and off, or enable or disable the track, but I'd rather not have to do that if I don't have to. I just want to go straight to render without having to shut the thing down.

This is an option in many other tools I use, like Blender, where an object can be seen while editing but can be set not to render, or CorelDraw, where a layer can be visible while editing, but can be set not to print, or in my DAW where an audio track can be routed to a monitor out, but not to the mixdown channel.

In this case, I've got a grid set up that I'd like to just keep visible while working, but keep it from rendering without taking an extra step to turn it off.

Can this be done? Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is that you reproduce the grid that you made with the guides and rulers...

You will need to disable the visibility of that layer bef0re rendering

In C4D as an example you have the "traffic lights" that allow seeing the object but not rendering.

There isn't a function like this in PP.

You will need to manualy do this before u render out
