Very loud fan noise on MacBook Pro 2019 even rendering a simple object
Can you post the specs of your Mac? The fact that it's 2019 (somewhat) doesn't matter...it's the hard drive, ram, etc.
With that said, I've been running Fusion 360 on a 2015 Mac and haven't had any issues like your video.
A few things to consider, as rendering is an intensive-resource no matter what computer you have.
- Make sure to close ALL other programs
- Make sure you don't have any auto-updating going on in the background (this was the culprit this with other users)
- Close all other Fusion 360 tabs (only leave open the file that's rendering)
- Make sure your Mac has a 50% charge or more. Unplug it when you start the render. Macs are notorious for getting really hot while they're charging, especially if you leave it plugged in all the time while working. This alone will make the fan start to go crazy so the rendering on top of that certainly would add to the cause.

I don't find that to be unusual! Rendering is very CPU intensive and the render engine in Fusion 360 uses every bit of processor power it can get. It makes full use of multithreading and hyperthreading. So it is only natural that things get hot and loud.
Have you checked the CPU utilization with the Activity Monitor ?
Mine does the same thing, super hot and the fan is on constantly, right when I open the app, I dont have to be doing anything. Here are my laptop specs:
