This is an embarrassing basic problem, but I can't find the option to render my scene instead of what I'm working on in the video editor.
Every time I try to render my scene, it just renders what ever key frame I'm on in my video timeline.
Where is the option to switch between the two?
EDIT: I found a Q/A for this. https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/81087/33487
In short Properties Panel > Render > Post Processing > Sequencer
