Hello all,
I render my animations in PhotoShop sequenced files One of the many benefits of doing this is so in case of a failure, during rendering, I can continue from the last saved frame.
But here is my problem... I do a batch file for network rendering and say I have a sequence called "image" that has 200 frames and it only completes to frame 150. How do you continue saving after the failure so the sequence starts saving the file in the proper numbered sequence i.e. frame 151 to 200?
My try was to get it to start at the last saved sequence by moving the starting point of the slider to the frame you last rendered, but what happens is it does not save the file to the timeline frame count.... i.e. it saves frame 151 as "image000" instead of the desired output of "image151".
Thanx!
TT

Hello TT, If you select the Options button underneath the File Format pull-down menu in the Render Room, you can set the Starting Frame number. A preview below the Starting Frame option provides a look at the sequence numbering prior to cliking OK. Mark
