When you are ready to generate final clips or intermediate results, define the settings for each Render and Write File node that you want to process.
Use the Render node to output clips to the Desktop or Media Library. Use the Write File node to export open clip files or image sequences in any supported format. With the Render node, metadata is kept; with the Write File node, metadata is not kept, unless you enable Create Clip Data.
Render and Write File nodes support RGB, RGB-A, and Stereo processing modes.
When you work with multiple resolutions, the Render or Write File node's resolution is determined by the clip or node feeding it. However, you can resize your output to any resolution.
You can also set up the Render List to manage multiple Render and Write File processes.
To help you organize outputs, you can automatically name an Output node with the name of any output socket in the process tree. With the Output node selected in the schematic, press n and click a node output—the name of the Output node is updated. If you want to change the Output node name, or if you change the name of the original output socket, simple redo the naming process.
Open clip files can be created using a Write File node with Create Clip Data enabled. This gives you the ability to save a copy of the active setup with the exported material, allowing you to package exports with the setups that created them, or to version your exports.
Advanced: Executing Batch from the Command Prompt
You can execute Batch directly from a command shell so that you can render complex process trees while the machine is not in use, such as overnight. The following command starts Flame Premium for a specified user, and renders a specified Batch setup:
