Blender is not rendering my animation in Cycles, even though it is set to that, why? I try rendering my animation in cycles, and I have it set to PNG sequence, and it is set to cycles in the sidebar tab. It renders out very quickly though and I know that shouldn't happen, it should take a few hours. It does look good though, however, I bring the sequence photos into the video sequencer but the video is very slow and makes it hard to edit or add sound. Anyone know why?
If there are image strips in the Video Sequencer editor, Blender ignores the scene and the cameras, rendering the image strip instead. Deleting the image strip or unchecking the "Sequencer" checkbox should solve your issue.



Generally, however, I'd recommend that you process the image strips in a different file from the one you used for rendering.
