Render List Settings

List Filtering Settings

Nodes box

Select whether to activate or deactivate all Render and Write File nodes in the Render List.

List box

Select whether to render only visible Render and Write File nodes in the current Render List view, or include Render and Write File nodes nested in groups.

Render List Columns

Process Indicator column

Activate individual Render and Write File nodes for processing. Click an indicator to activate or disable one job at a time.

The arrow in the P column is yellow when a job is active, grey when disabled, and red when there is a processing error.

Node Name column

Displays the name for the processed clip. Click a Node Name field to rename the clip.

Start and End frames columns

Specify the range of frames you want rendered in a processed result. Corresponds to the Range From and To fields in the Render or Write File node settings.

For example, one node could be set to process the first 30 frames of a 60-frame clip, and another node could process the remaining 30 frames.

NoteThe Start and End fields override the total number of frames in the timebar. For example, if the timebar shows a 60-frame clip and a node is set to start at frame 20 and end at frame 100, then 80 frames are processed.

Destination column

Displays the destination for the output or exported result. Use the Output Destination box in the Render or Write File node settings to change the destination.

Priority column

Dsiplays the priority of the jobs to be processed. If two processing nodes are connected to the same process tree, they have the same priority.

If there is a processing error, for example, if the Render or Write File node is not connected to a process tree, the job is deactivated and the priority is automatically set to 0.

Script column

Attach a script file whose content is executed when the Render or Write File node is finished rendering. Scripts must have the file extension .bscript.

Click this field to load an existing script from the file browser. See the Script Reference section below for more information.

Source column

Generate your output with a source timecode. Corresponds to the Source Timecode field in the Render or Write File node settings. To edit the timecode, double-click the field and enter a new value.

Record column

Generate your output with a record timecode. Corresponds to the Record Timecode field in the Render or Write File node settings. To edit the timecode, double-click the field and enter a new value.

FCM column

Displays the framecode mode. Change this value using the Framerate box in the Render or Write File node settings.

Output Type column

Displays the type of clip to be processed: RGB, RGB-A, or Stereo. Corresponds to the Export Format box in the Render or Write File node settings.

Script Reference

Batch scripts are ASCII files that contain instructions related to a Batch job. They must have the file extension .bscript for Batch to recognize them. A Batch script is executed after the Render or Write File node to which the script is associated has finished rendering.

You should consult with your system administrator when creating scripts. Scripts are created using either C shell, Korn shell, or Perl. Also, Batch scripts must have the proper file access, directory access, and execution permissions for the files, directories, and applications in the script.

When the script is executed, Flame Premium continues with its own processes and does not wait for the script to terminate. Flame Premium imposes no restrictions with executing scripts; however, make sure that no one else is using the system when a script is executed and that the script is approved by your system administrator.

Script variables that you can set are defined in the following table.
