How to render adobe after effect from script?

I need to render a composition with script. In project panel there're 7 composition. the index of composition to render is 3. inside composition there're 5 items. And version adobe after effect i'm using is After Effect CS6. I try so many things with the documentation. But, I don't how to exactly to select item to pass to render. Because of that. its not automatically to render.

You must have at least one render item quequed in order to render

app.project.renderQueue.render();

To make simple what i try. i just discard anything that don't work.

I did not test it but aggregated it from some old scripts of mine. Try it this way.

var comp = app.project.item(3);
// var testComp = app.project.items.addComp("testComp", 100, 100, 1, 1, 25);
app.project.renderQueue.items.add(comp);
app.project.renderQueue.render();

Edit: For your further questions about the output module you should take a look at the docs @stib suggested and you can also take a look at some scripts of mine https://github.com/fabianmoronzirfas/render-tools
